how rice are grown in bali

In Bali, where rice is grown almost everywhere you go, you can see rice fields and how rice are planted, upclose, instead of seeing them already polished and in a bag.

Nature has endowed Bali with ideal conditions for the development of agriculture. The divine volcanoes, still frequently active, provide the soils with great fertility. Copious rainfall and numerous mountain springs supply many areas of the island with ample water year-round.

Wet-rice cultivation is the key to this agricultural bounty. Here, and in other well-watered areas where wet-rice culture predominates, rice is planted in rotation with so-called palawija cash crops such as soybeans, peanuts, onions, chili peppers and other vegetables. In the drier regions corn, taro, tapioca and beets are cultivated.
