Production - World

The context section of the Rice Observatory aims to introduce the importance of rice cultivation in relation to other crops, both at the national and regional levels. The section is composed of two parts

Area: It presents indicators on the importance of the crop in relation to the cultivated area
1. Position of the crop in relation to the cultivated area: Indicates the position in which the rice crop is located in relation to the area cultivated with other crops at the national level
2. Rice area in relation to arable land at the national level: Proportion of the area cultivated with rice over the total area cultivated with crops at the national level, excluding the area destined for animal production (grasslands)
3. Rice area in relation to the area under temporary crops at the national level: Proportion of the area under rice in relation to the total area under crops at the national level, excluding the area for animal production (grassland) and the area for permanent crops
Production value: It presents economic indicators that contextualize the importance of rice cultivation in relation to value of production. Is expressed in nominal values in local currency
1. Agricultural GDP (Value Added): Sum of the value added of crop production at the national level. The value of animal production is excluded
2. Value of rice production: Estimated gross value of rice production
3. Value of cereal production: Sum of estimated gross value for all cereals grown nationally

This graph presents the historical evolution of rice harvested area in hectares, production level in tons, and yield in tons per hectare for the selected region. This is a two-axis graph, where the one on the left shows the values for the production and area variables, while the one on the right shows the values for the yield variable.
You can select in the legend those variables that you wish to exclude from the visualization.

This podium ranks crops according to year-on-year growth in production, harvested area and yield for the selected period. The filter allows you to switch between the three variables. The podium will show the three crops that grew the most in relation to the selected variable, as well as the position of rice in the selected region.

This graph presents the historical evolution of the growth rates of production, harvested area, and yield of rice for the selected region. The filter in the upper right corner allows you to switch the display between the annual growth rate and the 10-year moving average of that rate. The annual growth rate reflects the percentage change in the variable of interest relative to the previous year, while the moving average expresses the average of that change for the last ten years.
You may select in the legend those variables that you wish to exclude from the display.
