# Will the 2018-19 marketing year repeat 2016-17 low prices? It depends… - Rice Farming

> A Rice Farming analysis compares the 2018-19 US rice marketing year with 2016-17, when large supplies and ending stocks pushed cash prices below $16 per barrel. Rice acres rose nearly 20% in 2018 and yields are expected to rise, which the author says could restore a similar oversupplied market.

## Why it matters

Higher US rice acreage and yields point to ample supply and downward pressure on cash rice prices. This is a forward-looking view rather than a new market event.
