Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect. India is the second-largest producer of rice in the world after China, but in terms of rice export, India ranks first in the world. Rice is a Kharif crop as it is harvested in the monsoon season. Kharif is an Arabic word which means ‘autumn’. The most commonly used crop of the Kharif season is rice, extracted from the main crop, ‘Paddy’. West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana are the states where rice is produced in the most quantity. The three types of rice are Aus, Aman and Boro.
The correct statement would be that India is the second-largest producer of rice in the world after China.
