Bangladesh: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY 2018/19 (May-April) total rice area and production levels are forecast to increase to 11.7 million hectares (HA) and 34.7 million metric tons (MMT), due to a recovery from last year’s Boro and Aman crop losses and an expected higher price. MY 2018/19 rice imports are forecast to fall to 0.8 MMT due to higher domestic production while assuming favorable weather conditions. The rice import estimate is revised upward to 3.6 MMT in MY 2017/18 due to increased imports to fill the supply shortfall caused by the previous year’s devastating flood.
