rice production

Rice production involves cultivating rice plants through a process that includes selecting suitable land, planting seeds, managing water and nutrients, and protecting against pests and diseases. Rice typically grows in flooded fields called paddies, which help control weeds and pests. Farmers plant seeds directly or transplant seedlings from nurseries. The plants grow for several months, requiring consistent care. When mature, rice grains are harvested, threshed to remove husks, and processed to produce rice for consumption. This cycle ensures a steady supply of a staple food that feeds billions worldwide.
