Rice. Rice, the nation's major crop, was grown by about threequarters of all farm households in the early 1980s. Two main types were cultivated: dry, or upland, rice, grown predominantly in the North and Northeast; and wet rice, grown in irrigated fields throughout the central plain and in the South.
Rice is a principal world food crop. Farmers around the world grow thousands of rice varieties in different ways. In the West, cooks prepare rice as a side dish, but it is the main dish in many cultures. The people of many countries rely on rice as a significant part of their diet.
