Global and U.S. trading prices for rice have dropped sharply from 2008 record highs, but remain well above pre-surge levels. Despite the decline in prices, the 2008/09 U.S. season-average farm price is projected at a record $14.50-$15.50 per cwt. Total U.S. rice supplies in 2008/09 are projected to be smaller than a year earlier. In contrast, the crop is up 3%, as expanded plantings more than offset a weaker yield. Total rice use is projected at 233.0 million cwt, up almost 1% from a year earlier, with domestic disappearance accounting for all of the expansion.
