Bangladesh: Grain and Feed Annual
For MY 2016/17 (May-April), total rice area and production levels are projected to increase slightly to 11.8 million hectares (HA) and 34.55 million metric tons (MMT) assuming good weather and a recovery in Aman rice area. MY 2016/17 rice imports are estimated to increase to 1.3 MMT due to less total supply because of low imports and production in MY 2015/16. For MY 2016/17, wheat imports are forecast at 4.2 MMT because of a growing population and expectations of low international prices.
