Rice (Part II): Crop Yield and Price

May 23, 2007 at 12:40 am (Economic, Food/Agriculture, Statistic, World)

 

Top 3 rice crop yield:

Albania, Egypt and Australia (hmmm, the rich and developed nations do not neccessarily be producing higher yield with the help of R&D and technology?)

Malaysia: 3325.9 kg/Ha [2004]

Bottom 3 rice crop yield:

Republic of Congo, Democrat Republic of Congo and Malawi. (phew*sigh relief*, Malaysia is not in the list)

Top 3 rice producer price:

Japan, Turkmenistan and Zimbabwe. It is not surprise to know that Japanese produces very expensive rice: scarcity of the land pretty much tell the whole story.

Malaysia: USD190.00 per tonne [2003]

Bottom 3 rice producer price:

Brazil, Suriname, and Russia. Just compare the price between the top (Japan) and lowest (Brazil). It is such a huge difference!

Bee Flying, originally uploaded by micpohling.

It was a very pleasant surprise that to note the bee was flying and approaching the orchid we were taking picture. We did not realized it until reviewed the picture and spotted this fellow! I don’t think we will ever get the bee flying action by purpose. Sometime accident, in this case, is good :P
