North America Rice Market Analysis

The North American rice market is projected to witness a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period (2020-2025).

In addition to the support from the government, a few of the major factors responsible for the prosperity of the market include access to good inputs, good crop management systems, and advanced technology. These contribute to high-quality rice at harvest and the ability to maintain that quality throughout the milling and distribution chain. At the same time, highly efficient transportation and logistics contribute to the growth of the market in North America.
