Global Rice Marketing and Policy Research

The purpose of the Global Rice Marketing and Policy Research Program is to provide information and analysis to support public and private decision making related to rice marketing and trade. This research program was established in 1991 by a grant from the U.S. Congress. Baseline projections are the primary focus of the program using the Arkansas Global Rice Model, a framework that provides short- and long-run projections of the international rice economy and analysis of market and trade polices.
