Explanation:

    Rice is, for man, one of the main sources of carbohydrates, organic substances that provide energy to the body, and contribute to the restoration and development of tissues. Cereal is a good source of minerals such as phosphorus, iron, potassium and vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin and niacin).

    Rice is one of the most important grains in terms of economic value. It is considered the most important food crop in many developing countries, especially Asia and Oceania, where 70% of the total population of developing countries live and about two thirds of the world's undernourished population. It is a staple food for about 2.4 billion people and, by estimates, by 2050 there will be a demand to serve twice as much of this population.
