Rice is an important food in many countries. Can you explain why
Rice, wheat, and maize are the world’s three leading food crops; together they directly supply more than 42% of all calories consumed by the entire human population. Human consumption in 2009 accounted for 78% of total production for rice, compared with 64% for wheat and 14% for maize. Of these three major crops, rice is by far the most important food crop for people in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Although rice consumption is spread across income classes relatively equally in low-income countries, the poorest people consume relatively little wheat.
Rice is the staple food of more than half of the world’s population – more than 3.5 billion people depend on rice for more than 20% of their daily calories. Rice provided 19% of global human per capita energy and 13% of per capita protein in 2009. Asia accounts for 90% of global rice consumption, and total rice demand there continues to rise. But outside Asia, where rice is not a staple yet, per capita consumption continues to grow. Rice is the fastest growing food staple in Africa, and also one of the fastest in Latin America. Global rice consumption remains strong, driven by both population and economic growth, especially in many Asian and African countries.
Rice is the most important food crop of the developing world and the staple food of more than half of the world's population. Rich in nutrients and vitamins and minerals, it an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. Nine out of every ten people in the world who eat rice are Asian.

Why don't some companies pay overtime
Over time is expensive. In most countries, over time pay is 1.5 times normal pay, and salaries are generally the largest expense in a companies books already. As such, it’s cheaper to cycle employees throughout the work day, rather then run one constantly.
Employee stress/ tiredness. If an employee is tired, they will be less effective, and more likely to accumulate stress, which will make them less effective, and potentially make them more tired. It’s a dangerous cycle of diminishing performance.
