# Global Market Prospects for U.S. Long-Grain Rice for the Upcoming Marketing Year

> USDA's Prospective Plantings projects US long-grain rice area at 1.96 million acres, up 9% from 2022 but slightly below the five-year average. Long-grain exports in 2022/23 are lagging sharply, at 34.9 million cwt versus a five-year average of 52.4 million cwt, with Mercosur displacing US supply in Central America.

## Why it matters

Expected production gains of about 11% put pressure on export demand to hold prices, and weak export performance is a bearish factor for US long-grain rice.
