Rice

HS v2017 Code: 1006

About rice

HS code 1006 covers rice, a staple food grain that is a crucial part of the global agricultural economy. Rice is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed crops worldwide, providing sustenance and livelihood for millions of people, particularly in Asia. As a major international trade commodity, rice plays a significant role in global food security and economic development.

Production process

Rice production involves several key steps, including land preparation, sowing, transplanting, irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting. The most common methods are direct seeding and transplanting of rice seedlings. Depending on the region and climate, rice can be grown as a wetland or dryland crop, with varying irrigation and cultivation techniques. Post-harvest processing, such as drying, milling, and polishing, is also an integral part of rice production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for rice production include fertile agricultural land, water for irrigation, rice seeds or seedlings, farm equipment (e.g., tractors, tillers, harvesters), and agricultural chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides). Additionally, labor, both skilled and unskilled, is a crucial input for various stages of rice cultivation and processing.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 1006 is various types of rice, including long-grain, medium-grain, and short-grain varieties. These rice products may be consumed directly or used as inputs for other industries, such as 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included; food preparations of goods of headings 0401 to 0404, not containing cocoa or containing less than 5% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included, 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 2302 Bran, sharps and other residues, whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants.
