People almost all over the world eat rice. Millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice.
Rice is a kind of crop. There are so many kinds of rice. Rice is grown in many countries, even in the southern part of the United States and in eastern Australia.
No one really knows where rice came from. Some scientists think that it started to be planted in two places. They think that one kind of rice was planted in South Asia thousands of years ago. Another kind was probably grown in West Africa. Other scientists think that rice came from India, and that Indian travellers took it to other parts of the world.
There are two main ways to grow rice. Upland rice is grown in dry soil. Most rice is planted in wet soil. People in many countries do all of the work of growing rice by hand. This is the same as how farmers worked hundreds of years ago. In some countries, people now use machines on their rice farms. The farmers all use fertilizer. Some insects are enemies of rice. Farmers poison them.
People use every part of the rice plant. They make animal food and rice oil from it. They also make baskets, brooms, roofs and other things for their houses. They burn dry rice plants for cooking.
1. In how many places did rice start to be planted according to some scientists?
2. How do rice farmers kill insects that are harmful to rice?
3. What do you think of rice? Why?
