The country with the largest production of rice is China (by far).
India is second, Indonesia third, and Bangladesh fourth. China
produces as much as the second and third, India and Indonesia, put
together.

Pakistan is way down the list, tieing for 11th place with the USA.
Pakistan produces 10 million metric tons a year, just over 1/20 of
what China does, 197 million metric tons.
