# Arkansas Rice Update 10-15-21

> The Arkansas rice extension update reports that harvest is over 90% complete after a mostly positive couple of weeks. USDA's October WASDE trimmed 21/22 long-grain production only slightly, to 144.3 million cwt, still down almost 16% from last year. Long-grain imports were cut by 2.0 million cwt to 28.0 million.

## Why it matters

A smaller US long-grain crop and lower imports tighten domestic supply, which supports US rough rice prices. The changes this month were modest, so the effect on prices is limited.
