Sharp Drop in U.S. Rice
WASHINGTON - Jun 30/11 - SNS -- Rice plantings in the United States is estimated at 2.68 million acres, down 26% from 2010 and the lowest planted acreage since 1987, according to the USDA's seeded area estimates for 2011.
Area for harvest is forecasted at 2.65 million acres, down 27% from last year.
In all States except California, severe drought conditions, excessive flooding, and higher prices for competing commodities contributed to the decline in rice acres compared to last year. Area planted to rice in Arkansas, the largest rice-producing State, is at the lowest level since 1989. In California, water was in good supply, which allowed growers to plant 3% more rice than in 2010.
