Growing of rice

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.12

About growing of rice

NACE code 01.12 covers the growing of rice, a staple food crop that is a crucial part of the global agricultural industry. Rice is one of the most widely consumed grains in the world, providing a significant source of calories and nutrients for billions of people, particularly in Asia. The rice growing industry plays a vital role in food security, economic development, and the livelihoods of millions of farmers worldwide.

Production process

The production of rice involves several key steps. First, the land is prepared through plowing, leveling, and the application of fertilizers. Rice seeds are then sown, either by direct seeding or by transplanting seedlings from nurseries. Careful water management is essential, with fields flooded during the growing season and then drained prior to harvesting. Harvesting is typically done manually or with specialized machinery, and the harvested rice undergoes drying, milling, and polishing to produce the final consumer product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the rice growing industry include arable land, water resources, rice seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery. Access to irrigation systems and suitable climate conditions are also crucial for successful rice cultivation. Additionally, labor, both skilled and unskilled, is a significant input for activities such as planting, weeding, and harvesting.

Production outputs

The primary output of the rice growing industry is, of course, rice. This output is then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 10.61 Manufacture of grain mill products, 10.85 Manufacture of prepared meals and dishes, and 47.11 Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating. Rice is a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the world and is an essential component of the global food supply.
