Paddy production decreased by 6.4 per cent to 3,128,881 metric tons in 2007. Paddy output in 2006/2007 Maha and 2007 Yala seasons dropped by 7.7 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively. Displacement of farmers due to security reasons in the Eastern Province and changes in weather largely attributed to this drop. The land area cultivated in the Eastern Province dropped by 35 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively, in 2006/07 Maha and 2007 Yala seasons. Heavy rains and floods that prevailed in October-December 2006 damaged the crop in certain paddy growing districts. In addition, low producer prices of paddy (which ranged between Rs. 13 per kg and Rs. 15 per kg) in 2006 Yala also attributed to the drop. (Central Bank Annual report 2008)
