5. RICE CULTIVATION

6. Areas of Cultivation in Pakistan
Main area of production in Pakistan are CENTRAL and SOUTHERN
Punjab and some areas of Sindh
FURTHER ZONES ARE CLASSIFIED AS
ZONE 1
It lies in the broad strip of land between rivers Ravi and Chenab where both
canal and sub-soil water are used for irrigation. The climate is sub-humid,
sub-tropical type. Rice growing season is fairly long and suitable for
cultivating fine aromatic as well as some IRRI varieties.
 Zone-2
It consists of the large tract of land on the west bank of river Indus. It has an
arid sub-tropical. The impeded drainage and excessive water application to
rice has resulted in high water table. The long, extremely hot summers are
well suited to growing coarse rice varieties.
 Zone-3.
It is the Indus delta which consists of vast spill flats and basins; the latter are
mostly irrigated. The climate is arid tropical marine with no marked season
and is highly suited to coarse varieties. Wheat, berseem and pulses are
grown in rotation with rice.

9. TYPESBrown Rice brown Rice is the least processed form of rice. It has the outer hull removed, but still
retains the bran layers and germs are still intact. The bran layers give this type of rice its
characteristic tan color and nut-like flavor. The outside layer of the bran gives this rice a
chewier texture than white rice.
Parboiled Rice Husked rice that first has been heat tempered, soaked in warm water under
pressure and dried before milling ; this process allows the inner kernel to retain more of the
vitamins and minerals from the bran layer which also clarifies the more yellow kernel after is
has been milled. Parboiled rice is healthier than white rice.
IRRI-9 White Rice This variety is grown in both the Sindh and Punjab provinces in Pakistan.

13.  New archaeological evidence points to an area along the Yangtze River in central China
and dates back as far as 11,000 years. Researched by a team of Japanese and Chinese
archaeologists and presented at the 1996 International Symposium on Agriculture and
Civilizations in Nara, Japan,
 magnesium content is good for your heart, “Manganese is an important mineral that
helps digest fats,”
 Weight management
 study conducted in South Korea found that overweight women who replaced one meal
a day with a mix of brown and black rice for six weeks lost more weight and showed an
increase in good cholesterol and antioxidant activity than those who replaced one meal
with white rice.
 but radiocarbon testing of 125 samples of rice grains and husks, as well as of rice
impressions in pottery, from sites located along a specific portion of the Yangtze
unanimously indicate a median age of over 11,000 years. Another discovery of possibly
the oldest settlement found in China, which is located closely upstream from the other
sites, gives credence to the new findings
