North America Rice Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• CONTINUES RELEASE OF NEW VARIETIES OF RICE

Agricultural research can have a significant impact on consumers by improving the quality, safety, and availability of food. By investing in research, scientists with manufactures can develop new crop varieties, farming techniques, and technologies that can benefit consumers and market players in several ways. The release of new rice varieties can have a profound impact on the market and economy by creating new market opportunities for farmers and agribusinesses, which can lead to increased profits and growth. New rice varieties are often developed to have high production and resilient to environmental stressors like drought or diseases. This increased productivity can lead to higher yields and lower production costs, resulting in low cost for the consumers. New rice varieties may also be developed to have better taste, appearance, and nutritional content.  The new released varieties can be more desirable to consumers and increase demand, leading to higher profits for farmers and market players.

For instance,

• In November 2022, USDA scientists in Arkansas developed and commercialized a purple rice, USDA Tiara. The new variety's bran includes advantageous antioxidants, making it more colorful and healthier than white rice.  One of the pigments in purple rice are called anthocyanins, chemicals known for their anti-inflammatory properties and protecting the health of arteries.
• In May 2022, The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station has released a new jasmine-type aromatic rice called ARoma 22 in response to the increasing demand for aromatic rice in the United States. Sensory tests indicate that ARoma 22 has more aromatics and colour consistency than its predecessor, as well as characteristics desired by consumers of imported Asian aromatic rice.
• In February 2022, Horizon Ag announced the release a new high-yielding Clearfield rice variety created by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station for rice growers in 2023. The new variety CLL18 is a high performing, long-grain, herbicide-tolerant rice varieties. This high-yielding variety is expected to offer substantial benefits to the rice industry, as it has been specifically designed to optimize yield and performance, and has undergone rigorous testing and evaluation.
• In January 2022, The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station's rice breeders have created two new conventional rice varieties that outperform their predecessors in yield potential. The medium-grain variety, officially called Taurus, gave an average yield potential of 232 bushels per acre in the 2021 Arkansas Rice Variety Advancement Trials.

Thus, continuous release and development of rice varieties represents a significant development in the field of agriculture, and is poised to have a major impact on rice production in the upcoming years which is expected to boost the market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

CLIMATIC CONSTRAINTS IN PRODUCTION OF RICE

choices, and food security through changes in the natural and human components of agroecosystems. Variations in temperature and precipitation have a direct impact on the quantity and quality of rice crop production and indirectly impact on the scheduling of important farm operations and the economic effects of pests, weeds, and diseases. Adverse weather conditions also hamper the supply chain and transportation. The main climatic factors that can adversely affect rice production in North America are temperature and precipitation.

Rice is a warm-season crop that requires high temperatures for growth and development. In the United States, rice is typically grown in areas with average temperatures ranging from 70 to 85°F (21 to 29°C) during the growing season. If temperatures are too low, the growth of the rice plant can be stunted, and yield can be reduced. Climate change is expected to have an impact on rice production worldwide, including in North America. Rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns could reduce yields and affect the quality of rice produced. Additionally, extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods can also damage rice crops and disrupt production.

For instance,

• In September 2021, according to Science News the rice farmers in California's Sacramento Valley encountered a dusty, barren plot of land with dried-out soil crunching under each step. a devastating drought has affected much of the western United States, the soil is exposed and heating in temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). Early in 2020, the drought began, and the weather has gotten increasingly worse.
• In August 2021, according to Scientific American article, high night-time temperatures can also have an impact on output, each 1 C increase in night temperatures above 35 C results in a 10% decrease in rice yields.  Flooding and drought are also a threat to production along with rising sea levels that could submerge low-lying cropland in salt water also effect rice production

The widespread use of modern rice encourages farmers to use more machinery, especially in North America, which leads to soil compaction. Permanent waterlogging and rice monoculture have frequently resulted in microelement deficits, particularly zinc and sulphur, as well as toxicities, particularly iron. Zinc deficiency is the most common microelement disorder in wetland rice due to these climatic constrains during rice production is expected to ultimately effect the rice market.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Rice

The uncertainty caused due to outbreak of the pandemic occurs by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the world has affected and changed the complete dynamics of North America industries leading to the pandemic and has had a negative impact on the growth of North America economics. The effects can be seen over the intensity and efficacy of containment efforts, behavioral changes (avoid purchasing and investing), shifts in spending patterns, containment efforts to the supply of disruptions, the after-effects of dramatic tightening in the market are observed, volatile commodity prices and on increasing debt burdens. Due to (COVID-19), all the countries have faced a multi-layered crisis comprising domestic economic disruptions, plummeting external demand, collapse in the prices, and collapse in supply and demand of the products.

Post the pandemic, the demand for rice and rice products has increased as there won't be any more restrictions on movement, so the supply of products would be easy. In addition, companies developed their processing units to manufacture rice products, the demand in food processing industry, household, flour industry has also increased which may propel the market's growth.

Moreover, the high demand for rice will drive the market's growth. Furthermore, the demand for rice in householad and retail industry after the COVID-19 pandemic has increased. Additionally, consumers' interest in rice for its health benefit and research development is expected to fuel the growth of the North America rice market
