This work de-mystifies the trade, outlines its workings, and the problems which confront it. The author outlines the history and cultivation of rice, and the research programmes which have done so much to revolutionize its production in recent years. Including case studies of the rice markets in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Brazil, the USA and many other countries, this book gives a comprehensive mid-to-late-1990s view of the unpredictable and rapidly changing world market in rice.
