Rice production is the amount of rice paddy produced in a given country each calendar year. Production includes the quantities of the commodity sold in the market (marketed production) and the quantities consumed or used by the producers (auto-consumption). Harvesting losses, threshing losses, and unharvested portions of the crop are not included. Agricultural production data is obtained primarily from national governments through annually distributed FAO questionnaires.
