rice production
Cultivating paddy crops
Rice production is the cultivation and harvesting of rice, the staple grain for roughly half the world's population.
The term encompasses everything from planting to processing: Global rice production has increased steadily since the Green Revolution.
Most rice production occurs in Asia, particularly in flooded paddies that require intensive labor and water management.
