U.S. All-Rice Supply Is Lowered for 2026/27
There are minimal revisions this month to the U.S. rice balance sheet for marketing year 2026/27 (August 2026–July 2027). U.S. total rice supply is down solely on all-rice production, which is adjusted downward by 0.4 million hundredweight (cwt) from last month to 157.7 million, a 33-year low. This revision is based on a reduced all-rice yield in the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) October Crop Production report. With U.S. total rice use unchanged at 226 million cwt, ending stocks are lowered by the same amount as production to 40.0 million, still a 3-year low and 32 percent below last year. The all-rice season-average farm price (SAFP) is increased $0.30 per cwt to $15.20, 23 percent higher than last year, solely driven by the long-grain rice SAFP, which is up $0.50 to $14.00 per cwt, based on long-grain rice cash prices and rough rice futures prices.
