GFMM desk: Rice is one of the major contributors to life in Asia, especially in food. In Asia, 90 percent of the rice consumed in the world is produced. In China, India and Indonesia, rice is consumed at 60 percent of total consumption. Rice is the main food of more than 350 crore people in the world.
Asia has more rice per capita than other countries in the world. On an average, the consumption of rice has increased from 85 kilograms to 103 kilograms since 1960 to 1990. In many Asian countries, rice is the main strategic product. The price of this product is linked to the stability of many countries.
However, rice consumption in Asia has declined a bit lately. Bennett La says that the more wealthy a country's people are, the more calories they will consume from vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and dairy products. Many also increase their reliance on wheat products instead of rice.
Naturally, China is above all in terms of rice consumption, then India and Indonesia. Bangladesh is in fourth position. The other six countries on the list are Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan and Brazil. Good to say, Bangladesh is fourth in the world in terms of rice production. The first three places are the same. Such as China, India and Indonesia.
