Paddy rice differs from traditional African upland rice in that it has a better mouth feel and the grains are plumper and don't break as easily. Furthermore, paddy rice crops that are patiently cared for, weeded, and fertilized have a higher economic value.
不同於非洲原生的陸稻，水稻的口感佳、米粒飽滿、不易碎，加上耐心照料，勤除草、施肥，經濟價值更高。
