Detailed Solution

The staple food crop of most people in India is rice. Most people in India eat rice as their main crop of sustenance. After China, our nation is the second-largest rice producer in the world. It is a Kharif crop that needs high temperatures (over 25°C), high humidity levels, and yearly precipitation of at least 100 cm. It flourishes with irrigation in places with little rainfall. India's north and north-eastern plains, coastal regions, and deltaic zones are all where rice is farmed. Rice can now be grown in places with lower rainfall, such as Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, and portions of Rajasthan, thanks to a comprehensive network of canal irrigation and tube wells.
