[Graphic News] Rice production forecast to fall 2.4% in 2018: data
By Nam Kyung-donPublished : Oct. 18, 2018 - 17:16
South Korea's rice output is expected to fall slightly in 2018 from the previous year due to bad weather conditions during the harvest season and a decline in rice paddies, government data showed.
The country's rice production is forecast to decline to some 3.87 million tons this year, down 2.4 percent from a year earlier, according to the data compiled by Statistics Korea. The 2018 estimate is well below the five-year average of some 4.2 million tons.
A total of 738,000 hectares of rice paddies were used to grow the staple grain this year, down 2.2 percent from last year.
