Rice is the most necessary human meal crop in the world, without delay feeding more human beings than any other crop. It is the third best-grown agriculture commodity in the world after sugarcane and maze. It is also a staple meal in Asia, where roughly half of the world's poorest people live, and is becoming increasingly important in Africa and Latin America. Rice is grown in more than a hundred countries, with a complete harvested region of about 158 million hectares, producing more than seven hundred million heaps yearly (470 million heaps of milled rice). Almost 640 million tonnes of rice are grown in Asia, representing 90% of international production. Sub-Saharan Africa produces about 19 million litres and Latin America some 25 million litres.
By a long way, China and India are the worldâ??s greatest rice producers. Although its area harvested is smaller than Indiaâ??s, Chinaâ??s rice manufacturing is increased due to greater yields due to the fact that almost all of Chinaâ??s rice area is irrigated, whereas much less than half of Indiaâ??s rice region is irrigated. After China and India, the next biggest rice producers are Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand.
