In which one of the following crops international trades is low in the context of total produce?

The correct answer is Rice.

The international trade of rice is low because it is primarily grown for domestic consumption in the countries where it is produced. Major producers like China and India consume the vast majority of their output to meet the food security needs of their large populations. Only about 7 to 9 percent of total global rice production enters the international market.

In contrast, crops like coffee and rubber are plantation crops grown largely for export. Wheat also has a significantly higher percentage of international trade compared to rice because it is a global staple with a more diversified and established international supply chain. Therefore, rice has the lowest ratio of international trade relative to its total global production.
