About This Dataset
Countries by Rice Production 2025
Countries ranked by total milled rice production in 2025, measured in million metric tonnes according to USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and FAO FAOSTAT crop data. China is the world's largest rice producer — cultivating the crop across the Yangtze River Delta, Sichuan Basin, and Pearl River region in a system of double and triple cropping that extracts multiple harvests per year from the same paddies. Rice is both a staple food and a deep cultural symbol in China, and the government maintains strategic reserves and price supports that insulate domestic production from global commodity price swings, ensuring food security for a population that consumes roughly 155 million tonnes of milled rice annually and for whom food price stability is considered a matter of political as well as economic significance.
