Rice is a stable food crop that is produced in flood plain areas of South Sudan.
Two varieties have demonstrated a success in the past, namely:
- Wet land rice (Paddy variety): This variety are successful under the climate of Northern Bahr el Gazal, Jonglei and Upper Nile states.
- Upland rice: This variety grows well in the areas of green belt (Yambio, Tombora, Maridi and Yei).
- Other potential areas for rice production in the country include Unity and Lakes states.
