Paddy production, Area, and Yield: Phase 1 Baseline: NRDS (figures for 2008); Phase 2 Baseline: Monitoring and Evaluation study (figures for 2018); Current: Monitoring and Evaluation study (figures for 2023); 2030 Target: NRDS2 (figures for 2030)

Self-sufficiency: Self-sufficiency ratio, Imports and Exports: Monitoring and Evaluation study (figures for 2023). Self-sufficiency ratio is calculated using the definition of FAO: Production / (Production + Imports – Exports) x 100. Consumption and Cons/Capita: FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheet (figures for 2022). 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.

The following indicators are CARD common indicators, not country indicators

Category Code Indicator
Resilience (R)R1Area under irrigation (Ha)
R2Quantity of certified resilient variety seeds (Tons)
Industrialisation (I)I1Level of industrial milling capacity (%)
I2Level of mechanization in production (unit)
Competitiveness (C)C1Share of local rice in the market (%)
C2Quantity of high-yielding variety seeds (Tons)
Empowerment (E)E1Smallholder farmers' accessibility to financial services (%)
E2Smallholder farmers accessibility to technical training and services (%)

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
