Total rice production in the country = 45 + 48 + 59 + 41 + 37 + 68 + 57 + 38 = 393 Million tons
Average per hectare yield of rice in the country = 30 tons
| ∴ Area under rice cultivation = | Total rice production in the country |
| Average per hectare yield of rice in the country | |
| = | 393 | = 13 Million hectares. ( approx. ) |
