Home > Grains > Rough Rice

This cereal has been a staple for human consumption for thousands of years and is now
an integral part of the diet of nearly three billion people worldwide. From its humble
origins in ancient Asian cultures, rice cultivation spread across the continents. Many
international exports of rice are confined to the hulled and polished grains; however, the
CME Group’s “rough” rice contract - to which our specifications will refer –
encompasses “paddy” rice, which has not had the husks and bran removed.
