The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization says the world rice harvest should rise almost 2%, mainly because of increased production in Asia. Large gains are expected for Bangladesh, Burma, China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand.
The FAO also is predicting a recovery for rice harvests in Africa. It expects increased production from Mali, Nigeria and Senegal.
But the U.N.agency says harvests will be lower in the European Union and the United States. Two reasons for this are unusually dry weather and falling rice prices, which have led some farmers to plant other crops. Smaller rice harvests also are expected in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Concepcion Calpe is an economist with the FAO. She says good harvests in Asia will lead to reduced demand for rice this year. Demand is expected to fall 900,000 tons to about 34 million metric tons.联合国预计，2012年全世界大米产量将比2011年更大。（联合国）粮农组织表示，世界大米产量将提高近2%，其主要原因是亚洲粮食产量的增加。孟加拉国、缅甸、中国、印度、巴基斯坦、菲律宾以及泰国的粮食预计都会有很大的产量。
联合国粮食和农业组织同时预计非洲的大米产量也会得到恢复，马里、尼日利亚以及塞内加尔的大米产量都会增加。
但是联合国机构表示，大米在欧洲和美国的产量会更低，而这是由（欧洲和美国）干燥的天气和不断下降的大米价格造成的。一些农民因此会选择种植其他作物。拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的大米收成也不好。
康塞普西翁·卡培是（联合国）粮食及农业组织的一名经济学家。她说亚洲的好收成会导致今年对大米需求的降低，预计将会减少900,000到大约34,000,000吨。
