Global rice production was 713 million tonnes per year during 2006-2015, saw growth: Study

Global rice production saw significant growth from the 1960s to the 2010s. This increase was primarily due to management decisions such as expanded irrigation and increased nutrient inputs. These strategies helped offset losses from climate change. China, India, and Thailand are the top producers. Future food security will depend on adapting rice production systems to changing conditions.
