Long Shelf Life: Rice has a long shelf life, especially when stored properly in a cool and dry place. It can be stored for months or even years without losing its nutritional value, making it a convenient and reliable food source. Beaujard, Philippe (August 2011). "The first migrants to Madagascar and their introduction of plants: linguistic and ethnological evidence" (PDF). Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa. 46 (2): 169–189. doi: 10.1080/0067270X.2011.580142. S2CID 55763047. No doubt, rice paddy is scarce these days in the markets, and this is because the wet season production wasn’t all that impressive due to the flood. However, the issue of paddy scarcity will soon be over as the dry season harvest will start arriving in the next four weeks,” he stated. Budget-Friendly: Rice is an affordable and cost-effective food option, making it accessible to a wide range of people. It can be a staple food that provides nourishment and sustenance without straining the budget. Rice production in Thailand represents a significant portion of the Thai economy. It uses over half of the farmable land area and labor force in Thailand.

The taste of rice depends on the specific variety and how it’s cooked. Some types of rice have a mild, neutral flavour, while others, like Basmati or Jasmine, have distinct aromatic profiles. Types of Paddy Rice A member of the management team of one of the mega rice mills in Kano who spoke on condition of anonymity said the wet season last year wasn’t impressive (due to flooding) as rice paddy production dropped drastically, which affected supply to mills in the state.

PMID 23284907.Along with these issues, there is also the widespread concern that the elimination of fuel subsidies could result in increased transportation costs, which would worsen the situation. Simple changes to farming practices can significantly decrease these methane emissions, while also reducing the amount of water consumed during the growing season. Rice farms in Iran consisted of mostly small farms (smaller than 10 ha) owned by smallholder. Most of them were not contracted with rice company. They usually employed temporary labours when needed.

Gluten-Free: Rice is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. It allows people with dietary restrictions to enjoy a wide range of dishes without compromising their health.

Environ Nat Resour J xx–xx Alternate wetting and drying (AWD), the practice of allowing the water table to drop below the soil surface at one or multiple points during a growing season, is an effective alternative to continuous flooding, proven to reduce methane emissions by as much as 48%. The practice is also cost-saving for farmers, as it requires a third less water than continuous flooding and does not compromise yield. Er AC, Mokhtar M (2013) Paddy production and climate change variation in Selangor. Malaysia Paddy Production and Climate Change Variation in Selangor, Malaysia. https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v9n14p55Reduced water use: By reducing the number of irrigation events required, AWD can reduce water use by up to 30%. It can help farmers cope with water scarcity and increase reliability of downstream irrigation water supply.
