Q: Hi. origin of product please! as i know, rice is so difficult to be grown up in uk. seemingly it is packed in uk but not grown here. could anyone tell

This Venus rice is Italian, I think it is a regional variety but may be wrong. I'm fairly sure that rice cannot be grown in the UK as the climate is wrong for it.
