Best Rice in Pakistan

Rice crops take a whole year to grow. The most suitable areas for growing rice are those that experience heavy rainfall throughout the year. Farmers have to do a lot of hard work the entire year to grow the best quality rice. The process of planting the rice plants is laborious as it has to be done by hand and into the marshy/flooded fields. There are more than 40,000 variants of rice being cultivated around the world.
