Worldwide Rice Shortage
5/8/2008 6:19:17 AM: MSU

Mississippi growers are looking forward to the 2008 rice crop because of news of a potential world rice shortage.

Nathan Buehring, rice specialist at Mississippi State University’s Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, Miss., said the state’s rice acreage has been expanding in recent weeks.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s initial planting intentions report released March 31 forecast Mississippi’s rice acreage to decline about 5 percent from last year; however, Buehring now believes that Mississippi growers will plant 10% more acres than in 2007.
