This is the staple food of the people living in the eastern and the southern parts of the country, particularly in the areas having over 150 cm annual rainfall. There are about 10,000 varieties of rice in the world out of which about 4,000 are grown in India The main rice growing season of the state is Kharif(Wet season) with 60% of total rice being cultivated during the season. The season starts from May–June and ending November–December. The Rabi (Dry Season) falls between the months of November–December to March–April and 35% of rice is grown in Rabi.
