Rice distribution is when governments or organizations give out free rice to people who need it. This is done so that everyone has enough to eat and so they don't go hungry. In some places, it is run in a similar way to a food bank, where people come to the distribution point to collect a certain amount of rice that they are allowed to have. In other places, the rice is delivered directly to people's homes or to places like soup kitchens. People can also get subsidized or subsidized rice, where they pay a lower price for it.
