Rice (Oryza Sativa), one of the most important food crops in the world, forms the staple diet of 2.7 billion people. India is the largest rice growing country. Rice provides 32-59% of the dietary energy and 25-44% of the dietary protein in 39 countries. In India, it accounts for more than 40% of food grain production, providing direct employment to 70% people in rural areas. Being the staple food for more than 65% of the population, our national food security hinges on the growth and stability of its production.
