38 million ha (26%) of rice lands are terraced but unirrigated. This cropping system produces about 17% of world rice. [8] While upland rice production systems were the initial target for the perennialization of rice, the perennial habit may prove to have benefits in paddy systems where erosion is less of a concern.
