Rice is known as healthiest foods in the world which carry priceless health benefits. The production of the most largely consumed food has increased steadily over the decade. Largest producers are mostly developing countries where it is used as staple consequently their own production hardly meet their own domestic demands and nothing left for export. World’s most consumed staple food is cultivated in Asian countries which are not only largest producer but also largest exporter of rice in the world, not only known for quantity but for quality as well. World’s best quality rice is produced on the rich fertile soil of Asia where people earn their livelihood from rice production.
Farm productivity plays an important role in country’s production. India has world’s largest farm of rice but its productivity is half of china’s farm productivity so farming knowledge and technology need to be adopted by Indian farmer to become the largest producer. FAO study claims that post-harvest problems and poor infrastructure results in 8% to 26% annual decrease of rice output in developing countries which account for 95% of the total production whereas two largest producer, China and India contribute to nearly half of the world production. Here we have list of list of top ten countries with world’s highest production
