Paddy production, Area, and Yield: Phase 1 Baseline: NRDS (figures for 2008); Phase 2 Baseline: NRDS2 (figures for 2018); Current: FAOSTAT (figures for 2022); 2030 Target: NRDS 2. Since NRDS2 targets are set for 2025, these target figures are tentatively used as 2030 targets.

Self-sufficiency: Self-sufficiency ratio: FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheet (2021). Self-sufficiency ratio is calculated using the definition of FAO: Production / (Production + Imports – Exports) x 100. Imports, Exports and Consumptions: FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheet (2021). Data are converted from paddy to milled rice equivalent, using the rate of 0.667, which is also used by FAOSTAT. Consumption refers to the element “Food” in Food Balance Sheet.

Category Code Indicator
Resilience (R)R1Superficie de riz irrigué (Ha)
R2Quantité de semences de variétés résilientes (tons) 
Industrialisation (I)I1Niveau de capacité de transformation industriel (%) 
I2Niveau de mécanisation de la production (unité) 
Competitiveness (C)C1Part du riz local dans le marché (%) 
C2Quantité de semence à haut rendement (tons) 
Empowerment (E)E1Accessibilité des petits producteurs aux services financiers (%) 
E2Accessibilité des petits producteurs à la formation technique et aux services de vulgarisation (%) 

Resilience Making rice production and supply systems more stable and sustainable to cope with any kind of shocks, in particular climate change and the population increase
Industrialization Promoting industrialization in all categories of actors along the rice value chain through working with the private sector
Competitiveness Strengthening market competitiveness of locally produced rice in terms of accessibility, quality and price against imported rice
Empowerment Improving livelihood and welfare of all actors along the rice value chain through capacity building
