USA Rice’s public message
• U.S. farmers grow and supply 90% of the rice Americans consume each year.
• U.S. rice farmers export 50% of their annual production to traditional customers abroad.
• The U.S. produces only 2% of the world’s annual rice supply, but is the world’s fourth largest exporter of rice.
• The U.S. has enough rice to supply American consumers and their traditional customers in export markets.
