Recently, the Forestry and Fisheries Food Ministry in Korea indicated that since the rice stocks in Korea have reached 1,509,000 tons in 2010. It achieved the maximum amount since 1994.
It is known that the output of Korean rice grew 1.5 percentage points in 2010 compared to the same period, the supply also grew 7.4 percentage points compared to the same period. But the increased range of demand is only 1.8 percentage points compared to the same period. This causes the increasing of rice stocks in 2010. According to statistics, per capita consumption of Korean rice decreases progressively year by year from 2002 to 2010. It is 87 kilograms in the beginning to 72.8 kilograms in 2010.
