Abstract
The first chapter in the 1980 edition of this book, entitled “Rice in its temporal and spatial perspectives” (Lu and Chang 1980) has provided considerable detail on crop history, world production, and supply and demand up to 1978. Subsequent years saw a continuing trend in the spread of the high-yielding varieties (HYVs), rise in grain yield, increase in world production, and expansion in consumption and international trade. This chapter highlights such changes during the past decade. Rice statistics were based mainly on the Food and Agriculture Organization’s World Crop and Livestock Statistics (FAO 1987), Quarterly Bulletins of Statistics (FAO 1988 and 1989), and the World Rice Statistics 1987 of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI 1988).
