South Korea: Rice Output Likely To Touch An All Time Low

South Korea's rice production for the current year is expected to fall to its lowest level in twenty seven years owing to unfavourable weather conditions.

According to a recent survey done by the The National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (NAQS), the harvest is likley to be 5.8 % smaller than the 4.68 million MT harvested last year.

Frequent rains and cloudy weather during the fall months have had a detrimental affect on overall yield in the country.
