The headline totals mislead at first glance: the totals listed for each year were 2,960,077 tonnes (140 reporters) and 2,026,316 tonnes (112 reporters), suggesting a collapse of nearly one-third. The common reporter universe (106 countries with data in both years) tells the opposite story, rising from 1,762,503 tonnes to 2,025,618 tonnes, a change of 263,115 tonnes (14.9 percent). The gap comes from 34 countries reporting in 2023 (about 1.20 million tonnes combined) that did not report in 2024 — missing reports, not vanished trade.

Mexico and Central America's Share of Rice Imports

Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and El Salvador together imported 1,549,319 tonnes in 2024, or 76.5 percent of the listed total. Colombia (156,926 tonnes) leads South American buyers, followed at distance by Brazil (22,243 tonnes). Europe's buyers are small and scattered: Portugal, Italy (25,420 tonnes), Spain (23,121 tonnes) and the Netherlands among them, none above 36,000 tonnes. Türkiye, the largest buyer outside the Americas, took 54,296 tonnes (2.7 percent).

How Rice Imports Moved Between 2023 and 2024

Within the growing common universe, Mexico added 215,479 tonnes (from 445,661 to 661,140 tonnes, up 48.4 percent), Honduras 68,627 tonnes (up 39.7 percent) and Guatemala 40,532 tonnes (up 33.7 percent). Portugal added 13,271 tonnes (up 60.2 percent) and Spain 11,306 tonnes (up 95.7 percent), both from small bases. Mozambique rose from 12.44 tonnes to 21,345 tonnes; no percentage is published for a move from such a base. Panama recorded the sharpest absolute fall, down 71,096 tonnes (from 191,172 to 120,076 tonnes, down 37.2 percent), followed by Switzerland with 31,863 tonnes (down 92.7 percent) and El Salvador with 23,197 tonnes (down 24.6 percent).

Rice Imports in 2024 Against 2020

Between 2020 and 2024, the common reporter universe (108 countries with data in both years) fell from 2,333,836 tonnes to 2,025,737 tonnes, a change of -308,099 tonnes (-13.2 percent). The totals listed for each year were 3,057,084 tonnes (145 reporters) and 2,026,316 tonnes (112 reporters); 37 countries reporting in 2020 (about 0.72 million tonnes combined) did not report in 2024. Costa Rica added 110,325 tonnes (up 59.8 percent) and Honduras 94,160 tonnes (up 63.9 percent). Brazil recorded the steepest absolute retreat, down 222,561 tonnes (from 244,804 to 22,243 tonnes, down 90.9 percent), followed by Mexico with 127,483 tonnes (down 16.2 percent) and Türkiye with 125,198 tonnes (down 69.8 percent). China shrank from 27,311 tonnes to 0.13 tonnes — a reported near-zero flow, distinct from a missing report.

Methodology

FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral records are summed here into yearly reporter totals for item Rice, 2020-2024, for import quantity and import value. Displayed quantities round below 1,000 tonnes to two decimals and to whole tonnes at or above 1,000; import values are converted from FAOSTAT's 1,000-US-dollar unit to full current US dollars and are not adjusted for inflation. Shares and the ranking rest on 2024 listed quantities. Zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means nothing was reported, and the two are never exchanged. Year-to-year change uses only countries reporting quantities in both years, with entering and exiting reporters quantified apart. Partner records may fill gaps and food-aid flows may be added, and bilateral pairs are not fully reconciled, so an export declaration and its mirror import can differ.
