*1 Stock totals by type omit brokens, which are included in total stocks for all types of rice in table 1.
*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/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 NASS monthly prices and the final price may differ.
*7 Market year begins October 1.
