About This Dataset
Paddy Rice Production in Eight Selected Countries, 2024
This chart compares paddy rice production in eight selected countries in 2024. The original country selection is retained; it is not a complete world top-eight ranking, and omitted countries may exceed some entries. Values measure crop output, not exports, consumption, yield per hectare or production value.
Figures come from FAOSTAT’s Crops and Livestock Products dataset, processed by Our World in Data, with a source retrieval date of 25 February 2026. The observation year is 2024. Source tonnes are divided by 1,000,000 and rounded to three decimal places in million tonnes; rounding does not describe measurement uncertainty. Estimates can be revised. Rice is measured as paddy (unmilled harvest), not milled or edible rice. These quantities cannot be compared directly with milled-rice series; no universal milling conversion has been applied.
Read the ranking within this selection. A larger crop alone does not establish higher farm productivity, income or export competitiveness.
