Abstract

In recent years, rice has emerged as'an important foreign exchange earner for Pakistan. All the rice exports since 1958-59 were supplied by West Pakistan, a surplus rice area under the present price and procurement policies. In spite of an overall rice deficit. due to deficiency of production in East Pakistan. highpriced fine varieties were exported at the same time that PL 480 foodgrain s were being imported. The current thinking in and outside the government is to raise substantially the production and exports of fine rice (especially Basmati rice). In order to examine the rationality of increasing the production and exports of fine rice, certain basic information on world supply and demand are essential.
