World rice consumption in 2004: 413.927 million metric tons
World rice consumption increased 40 percent in the last 30 years, from 61,5 kg per person to about 85,9 kg per person.
Three consumption models can be distinguished:
- Asian model: average consumption higher than 80 kg/person per year (China: 90kg, Indonesia: 150kg, Myarmar: more than 200kg, the record);
- "PVD subtropical" model: average consumption between 30 and 60 kg/person per year (Colombia: 40kg, Brazil: 45kg, Ivory Coast: 60kg);
- West model: average consumption lower than 10 kg/person per year (France: 4kg, United States: 9kg).
Most rice is consumed in the same country that it is produced. This is one of the most important characteristics of the rice production chain. Domestic rice markets are, therefore, very segmented and often one of the most protected.
