Rice

Herbaceous grass (annual and perennial) plant that grows in water. This is one of the most important cultivated crops in the world, rice is eaten by almost half of the world’s population.

In Kazakhstan, rice is grown mainly in the Kyzylorda region. Rice cultivation in Kazakhstan is entering a new stage of development, this is the branch of the agro-industrial complex that ensures full provision of this product to the entire population (self-sufficiency in rice reaches 116-120%) and makes it possible to import rice to neighbouring countries.

Rice is a very productive crop; its yields can reach 69-80 c/ha or more. The crop is very productive.
