N/A = Not available. - - = Not reported. Cwt = hundredweight. 1/ Stock totals by type omit brokens, which are included in total stocks for all types of rice.
2/ Projected. 3/ Includes residual. 4/ Market year begins August 1. 5/ Accounts for the difference in beginning and
ending stocks of brokens. Thus, total supply of medium/short-grain may not equal the sum of beginning stocks, production, and imports.
6/ The medium- and short-grain season-average farm price (SAFP) largely reflects rice that is marketed through price pools in California.
The pool price is not final until all the rice in the pool is marketed for the crop year. Therefore, medium- and short-grain SAFP estimates for both California and
the United States that are based on the average of USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service monthly prices and marketings reported in October
may differ from the final price reported in January.
7/ Market year begins October 1.

1/ The medium/short-grain season-average farm price (SAFP) largely reflects rice that is marketed through
price pools in California. The pool price is not final until all the rice in the pool is marketed for the crop year.
Therefore, SAFP forecasts based on the average of USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service monthly prices and the final price may differ.
For 2022/23, the medium- and short-grain SAFP remains a foreast until October
when USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service reports updated monthly cash prices and marketings.
