Every month Cuba supoplies to all Cuban families rationed foodstuff like rice, which people highly appreciate.

Despite the very high prices of foodstuffs like rice, Cuba purchases them in the international market; whose costs have risen to much, mostly after the pandemic of covid-19, which hit the world over and had a negative impact on production.

Rice production in China is the amount of rice planted, grown, and harvested for consumption in the mainland of China.

It is an important part of the national economy, where it is the world’s largest producer of rice, making up 30% of global rice production. It produces the highest rice yields in Asia, at 6.5 metric tons per hectare (2.6 long ton/acre; 2.9 short ton/acre). Rice is produced throughout the nation and is believed to have been first domesticated in the surrounding regions of the Yangtze River and the Yunnan-Guizhou highlands of Southern China.

Rice is believed to have been first cultivated around the Yangtze River Valley and Yellow River 11,000 years ago, found upon clustering in the middle of the Yangtze River in the provinces of Hubei and Hunan in central China according to archaeological records. The planting techniques of rice production in China encapsulates techniques such as water loss prevention such as turning soil into mud, and also seed transplantation. / Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
