History

The evolutionary origins of Rice, the genus oryza, are rooted in such distant history that no exact geographic location has been defined as the true source. A popular theory claims that the ancient supercontinent known as Gondwana, which included most of the landmasses in today’s southern hemisphere, was home to oryza; but when Gondwana split into pieces 200 million years ago, rice traveled with the newly created continents and landforms, populated the new continents and islands that became Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Madagascar. A rice paddy is an arable selection of land planted with rice seed that is flooded, providing the large amounts of water essential to rice growth. The paddy is irrigated by diverting water from rivers and mountain streams into a complex network of canals developed over years of use. Rice farmers often terrace the paddies up a hillside or slope, which conserves water by allowing it to flow down through successive rice fields. Rice seed is usually planted in a seedbed but transplanted to the paddy as a young plant. The water level begins at a depth of 6 inches, but as the plant grows, farmers gradually drain the water. By harvest time the water is almost entirely drained, and the farmers can collect the rice from the dried fields. Fifty percent of the world’s rice is grown in paddies that are fed by natural rainfall; thirty-five percent comes from paddies flooded by both rainfall and irrigation. The major rice-producing countries - including China, India, and Vietnam - primarily cultivate paddy rice.
