Abstract

More than half the grain produced in the world consists of either wheat or rice, with the quantity of wheat produced exceeding that of rice. In 1976, for example, wheat output was 417.5 million metric tons while paddy production was 345.4 million tons. The two grains are not of equal importance in international markets, however. Wheat is the most widely traded grain and about 16 — 20 per cent of total output is exported. The world market for rice, in contrast, is extremely thin and only about 2 — 5 per cent of output is traded internationally. The volume of wheat exports is about seven times larger than that of rice.
