Rice is projected at 176.026 million hundredweight, a drop of 15.77 million on the year due to lower yield and harvested acreage, at 7,627 pounds per acre and 2.308 million acres, respectively. A year ago, rice production totaled 191.796 million hundredweight with an average yield of 7,709 pounds per acre and harvested area of 2.488 million acres.
Old crop U.S. rice ending stocks are pegged at 41.5 million hundredweight, a half a million lower due to decreased imports, with new crop at 36.5 million, a million higher following the month to month increase in production.
