Rice is one of the most important cereal crops in the world, taking the third place in grain production after wheat and corn. Although widely used throughout the world, it forms the main food source of people in Asia.

It is widely grown in tropical climates, south and southeast Asia.

While most of the rice produced is used directly as food, it is also milled into flour and starch . In Turkey, it is mostly used for making rice, soup, stuffing and milk desserts.

The provinces with the highest production are Edirne, followed by Çorum, Samsun, Sinop, İzmir, Manisa, Balıkesir and Kastamonu, respectively.
