California Rice Abroad

In California, we grow japonica rice; short and medium grain kernels which are glutinous (sticky) in nature.  In other words, we grow the kind of rice that is heavily consumed in Japan, and key to making a good roll of sushi.  What we grow is sold all over the United States, and exported around the world.  

The video below is a brief analysis of the importance of international markets for California Rice, and how our rice respected abroad.

Special thanks to the California Rice Commission , Aji Japanese Bistro, and the Port of Oakland in helping me produce this video.
