Paddy production, Area, and Yield: Phase 1 Baseline: NRDS (figures for 2008); Phase 2 Baseline: FAOSTAT (figures for 2018); Current: FAOSTAT (figures for 2022); 2030 Target: Since the target setting in the new NRDS has not yet been finalized, the targets for 2030 are tentatively set against 2018 figures (= Phase 2 Baseline), as follows: Production: 100% increase; Area: 37% increase; and Yield: 46% increase. These percentages are the same as the rates of increase for the respective indicators set as targets at the CARD initiative level.

Self-sufficiency: 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)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
