About rice

cpc code 0113 covers the rice industry, a vital component of the global agricultural landscape. Rice is a staple food for over half the world's population, making it a crucial commodity in international trade and a significant contributor to the broader economy. As a versatile grain, rice is cultivated across diverse climates and regions, supporting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and playing a pivotal role in food security worldwide.

Production process

The production of rice involves several key steps. First, rice seeds are sown in carefully prepared fields, often flooded with water to create ideal growing conditions. As the plants mature, they are carefully tended, with weeding, irrigation, and pest management techniques employed to ensure a healthy crop. At harvest time, the rice grains are mechanically or manually cut, threshed, and dried to remove excess moisture. The dried rice is then milled, a process that removes the outer husk and bran layers, leaving the edible white rice grain.

Production inputs

The rice industry relies on a range of inputs, including fertile land, water resources, agricultural machinery, and labor. Farmers often utilize specialized equipment such as tractors, tillers, and harvesters to optimize the planting, cultivation, and harvesting processes. Additionally, the industry requires access to high-quality rice seeds, as well as fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals to maintain soil fertility and protect the crop from pests and diseases.

Production outputs

The primary output of the rice industry is the edible rice grain, which is consumed directly as a staple food or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products. Rice is also used as an input for 1061 Grain Milling, 1071 Bakery Products, and 1075 Prepared Meals and Dishes. Additionally, rice byproducts, such as rice bran and husks, are utilized in the production of animal feed, biofuels, and other industrial applications.
