Abstract: This report summarizes rice distribution data for the 1969-70 marketing year, collected by a mail survey of all known rice milling and repackaging firms in the United States. The report utilizes data from previous such studies in making comparisons with other years more particularly 1966-67. Data shown include amounts of rice distributed for direct food use by States, regions, and territories, broken down by size of package, type of grain, and specialty rice. Quantities of rice shipped to processors for use in principal products are shown, as well as trends in domestic distribution and use of rice and their relationship to certain factors. Government distribution to both civilian and military populations is shown. Also, such related information is shown as percentage of rice packaged in consumer sized packages and labeled under another firm's brand name and percentage of rice distributed in the United States and territories for direct food use that is enriched.
