Earlier Report Observations

Jamaica's milled rice and broken rice market saw a net contraction between 2018 and 2023, declining from 95 611 tons to 87 927 tons. The only expansion occurred in 2021, when market size jumped to 97 905 tons due to a rise in both local production and imports.

Subsequently, imports and production fell, leading to smaller market volumes in 2022 and 2023. By 2024, imports decreased to 63 136 tons, with global influences playing a key role: Jamaica's dependence on international rice trade left it exposed to price fluctuations driven by India's export policy changes and climatic events such as El Niño.
