As rice is a common staple meal in most Asian nations, the Asia Pacific region accounted for more than 75.0% of the income in 2021. In nations like India, Vietnam, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, more than 100 kilograms of rice are used yearly per person. In these Asian countries, more than 520 million people get more than 50% of their calories from rice. In the upcoming years, the per capita consumption of these goods as a staple diet will continue to rise in middle-to-low-income Asian nations, such as the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Cambodia. For example, India's rice exports (basmati and non-basmati) increased dramatically by a whopping 87 percent to 17.72 million tonnes (MT) in 2020–21 from 9.49 MT in 2019–20. India's rice exports increased by 38% in value to 8815 million USD in 2020–21 from 6397 million USD recorded in 2019–20. India's rice exports increased in value by 44% to Rs 65298 crore in 2020–21 from Rs 45379 crore the year before. India's rice exports increased by more than 33% to 11.79 MT in the first seven months of the current fiscal year (2021–22) from 8.91 MT during April–October 2020–21. It is predicted that India would export more rice in 2021–22 than it did in 2020–21, when it set a record of 17.72 MT. India sent non-basmati rice to nine nations in 2020–21, including Timor–Leste, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Eswatini, Myanmar, and Nicaragua, while preceding shipments were of a lower scale or had not yet been made.

Europe is anticipated to see the quickest rate of growth over the projection period, with a CAGR of 8.9% from 2022 to 2028. In nations like Italy, Spain, and many Southeastern nations including Bosnia, Romania, Greece, and Turkey, the use of rice in staple foods has increased. Additionally, it plays a significant role in a number of classic European recipes, especially Mediterranean food. This should increase consumer demand for the goods.
