How is rice grown?
Similar to nearly all grasses cultivated for human consumption, rice is an annual crop that will need to be resown for harvest each year. It is grown in partially water-logged fields, which are commonly referred to as rice paddies.
The process of producing the rice is unique, and an incredible journey from the seed to the rice that we eat everyday. The procedure can be narrowed down to just six vital steps, which must be followed in order to ensure that the rice is grown correctly, without any health concerns.
The stages involve:
· Seed selection
· Land preparation
· Crop establishment
· Nutrient management and crop health
· Harvesting
· Postharvest
By the time each and every process has been followed the product will be a white, crispy grain, ready to be cooked!
