Step-by-step explanation:

• The consumption of the rice is growing at a fast rate as the countries like that of china's consumption were 162.4 million and that of India was 130.4 million of the year 2013. Thus southeast Asia produces and consumes about more than 50 % of the rice in the world.

• Being the most important crop in Asia, its consumption has increased by about 40% since 2002. The rise has a long growing season and is mostly eaten and mostly used food items.
