Highest reported production in the available 1961–2024 record: 14,788,853 t (2023). Missing years are excluded from the peak search.

A five-year average requires all five preceding calendar years. Ten-year change compares the two endpoints, not an annual growth rate. Percentages require a positive baseline. Source flags remain in the annual table; these comparisons do not explain the causes of change.

Rice production, yield & harvested area over time

Separate scales preserve each measure’s meaning. Gaps remain visible; no values are interpolated.

TYPICAL NATIONAL REFERENCE · JRC / FAO

Rice planting and harvest seasons in Pakistan

Reference years unknown. These are typical national windows, not observed activity this season. Timing can differ within the country; the reference does not establish crop presence or conditions in any field.

Each coloured cell is a source ten-day period. Scroll the timeline horizontally on small screens; exact windows are written below each season.

Rice

Planting through harvest falls within one calendar year in this reference.

Planting
late May – late Jul
Growing
late Jul – late Sept
Harvest
late Sept – early Dec

Early = days 1–10; mid = days 11–20; late = day 21 to month end. Adjacent phases share an endpoint period in the source. Blank cells mean outside that reference phase, not an observation of inactive land. Seasons are not summed or treated as separate land areas.

How Pakistan fits into world rice production

Compare the largest reported producers in the same harvest year. A larger harvest is not a measure of greater efficiency or food security.

Sources & how to read this page

FAOSTAT · Crops and livestock products. Source edition dated ; retrieved 7 October 2026. Harvest observations end in 2024. This reference page is refreshed when a reviewed edition is published.

Three different measures

Production is reported crop output in tonnes. Yield is output per harvested hectare in kg/ha. Harvested area is measured in hectares; it is not necessarily the area of unique land because multiple harvests can use the same land.

Comparable, with limits

Annual changes compare consecutive reported years. Missing years and zero denominators have no percentage estimate. World shares use the same-year FAOSTAT World total. Rankings exclude World and the overlapping China aggregate (M49 159).

Historical context

National totals do not describe every region or field and do not measure hunger, current crop condition or production at risk. Annual records use the source’s harvest-year convention; they do not establish a harvest month.

Rice crop output and milled-rice trade or price benchmarks have different product forms. No conversion between them is applied here.
