India's rice (paddy) output is likely to decline by a marginal 2.55 per cent this year on delayed monsoon and uncertainty over follow-up rain in the agriculturally crucial month of July.
According to the latest estimate by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the country's paddy output may decline to 145.2 million tonnes (MT) in 2009 after hitting a record of 149 MT in the previous year. In 2007, total paddy output was recorded at 145 MT.
