# Rice market remains resilient but could face headwinds later in 2021 - Rice Farming

> Rice Farming reports the US rice market has been resilient in 2020 despite a 21% rise in harvested acres to nearly 3 million. Production is estimated up more than 22%, but smaller beginning stocks keep supplies manageable at about 9% above 2019-20. Hurricane Delta damage raised milling quality concerns.

## Why it matters

Larger US output is offset by lower carry-in stocks and steady domestic demand, so the price outlook stays balanced with headwinds possible later.
