Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the earliest crops to come under cultivation in Coorg. The time-honoured religious festival Huthri, celebrating the harvest of paddy gives some indication as to the great antiquity of this cereal here. From olden times each family has been assigned a block of unalienable paddy land and the agricultural economy is closely linked with various aspects of paddy cultivation.
