Italy is the largest rice producer in the EU-28. According to the latest figures from the Italian Rice Association (Enterisi), Italy’s MY (marketing year) 2016/17 rice area is expected at 234,134 hectares (Ha), 3 percent more than MY 2015/16, driven by the higher profitability of the sector compared to corn and soybean. Italy’s MY 2016/17 rough rice production is expected at 1.5 million metric tons (MMT), 6.3 percent more than MY 2015/16, thanks to favorable weather during summer and improved yields (6.8 t/ha in MY 2016/17 over 6.6 t/ha in MY 2015/16).
