Technical Abstract: This is a brief report on history of rice production and its importance as a crop. Rice is a staple food for half of the world's population. Though 90% is grown in tropical and sub-tropical Asia, rice is also grown in high- latitude nations such as the US, Italy, Uruguay, and Australia.
