3. HISTORY
• Found -10,000 years ago
• Rice cultivation 6500 years ago
• First sign of cultivation about 5500 years ago
in China
• Thailand around 4500 B.C
• Also appeared,
Cambodia, Vietnam and southern India
• 20 wild rice spp
4. World status
• Rice is the 2nd largest produced cereal in the
world
• Rice production is about -661.81ml MT (2008)
• Average rice yield - 4.25 MT/ha (2008)
• Production is geographically concentrated in
Western and Easter Asia with more than 90
percent of world output and consumption
5. Present Condition
• Started as wild grown crop
• Today most popular variety - Oryza type
• Only two of them offer an agriculture
interest for humans:
-Oryza sativa
- Oryza glaberrima
7. Oryza glaberrima
• Oryza glaberrima- African rice
(domesticated rice species).
• Less known than Asian rice
• Originate after Asian rice
• Oryza glaberrima -grown in Africa
8. Oryza sativa
• A common Asian rice – Most popular
• Indica
-warm,
-semitropical
-tropical climate
• Main types- 3
• wild types- 20
• First originated type
9. Rice distribution in Asia.
• Place of origin of Asian rice to be in the area
from Assam of India extending to Yunnan of
China.
• Domestication of rice in Asia may have
occurred independently at about same time
• Domesticated three types of O.sativa spp.
10.
11. Oryza indica
In present most distributed type
Extended to southern part of Assam then
migrated to southern and central part of
India.
Mostly in Bengal area :Bengal series
First type introduced to Sri Lanka in 513B.C
Eg: Indo-china peninsula and china
12. Oryza japonica
Formed at downstream sites of Yangtze
river.
So it is Yangtze river series.
Extended to northern part of Assam due
to temperate climate.
E.g.: Korea, Japan, Russia and Syria etc.
13. Oryza javanica
Least distributed Asian type.
Tropical and temperate characters
Mostly extended to Indonesia
,Philippines and Myanmar
14.
15. Japonica and Indica expanded to other Asian
countries also:
-Korea
-Japan
- Myanmar -Pakistan
-Sri Lanka
- Philippines and
-Indonesia
The Asian rice (Oryza sativa) was adapted to
farming in the Middle East and
Mediterranean Europe around 800 B.C.
16. Rice distribution in Africa
African rice was domesticated 2,000-3,000
years ago in the Inland delta of the Upper
Niger river now in Mali
The Asian rice species was introduced in West
Africa at around 1500 by the Portuguese
The upper coastal part of West Africa was
historically known as the “Rice Coast”
