Rice is the most widely consumed grain in the world. In addition to feeding a third of the world's population, rice impacts some facet of our lives every day. In California, there is a much larger story to tell than the simple story of growing rice varieties that are world-renowned.
The state's ricelands provide an unparalleled wildlife habitat for 235 species of wildlife and hundreds of thousands of acres of wetland.
Whether you are biting into a California roll at your favorite sushi restaurant or tucking in to a beautiful plate of paella, California rice is the foundation for glorious cuisine from around the world, and is a common thread shared by many cultures.
Rice is also the economic engine that drives jobs in our hometowns and across the nation. From the Port of Sacramento workers who load our rice to the manager of a healthy snack bar maker in the Midwest, many can say that the California rice industry is a significant reason for their success.
