Rice
Around two-thirds of the rice consumed by European citizens is grown in the EU. This is supplemented by imports of different varieties, mainly long-grain indica rice such as basmati from India and Pakistan. A small quantity of European rice – mainly japonica - is exported.
Crop-specific payments for rice have been abolished as from 2012.
