Paddy rice output in 2005!.World production of rice[44] has risen steadily from about 200 million tonnes of paddy rice in 1960 to 600 million tonnes in 2004!. Milled rice is about 68% of paddy rice by weight!. In the year 2004, the top three producers were China (26% of world production), India (20%), and Indonesia (9%)!.
World trade figures are very different, as only about 5–6% of rice produced is traded internationally!.
