How much rice a cargo ship can carry varies with the size of the ship. The larger ships can carry up to 10,000 20 foot cargo containers filled with rice.
Cargo ships
2 cups per pound of uncooked rice. [1 cup=8oz. ~ 2cup=16oz.~ 16oz=1 lb] 50lbs X 2 Cups= 100 cups of uncooked rice 1 Cup Uncooked Rice will feed Four adults and then some 50lb Bag equals 400 (Adult) servings of rice minimum.
I cook red cargo rice from a full boil, cut down to a simmer and cook 45 minutes. Let stand at least 5 minutes after cooking. Feels like brown rice, tastes a little bitter. I usually cook red cargo with parboiled American rice (18 minutes). Both seem to work better when they're presoaked, but don't go nuts on this. A minute to 20 minutes is plenty of presoaking. Neither keeps very well in the fridge--they get a little mealy and dry the second day. I've tried about every kind of rice available in the States, but the best have been white Carolina, white Jasmine, and white Basamati. Brown and Red Cargo are definitely also-rans to me; but I still eat them. Hey! I don't want to go against the food pyramid! See book "The Seduction of Rice." Top notch travel and recipes! -zack
I just cooked some this morning using the usual ratio of 2 parts water to one part rice. It was too much water so I drained off the excess when the rice was done. From what I've read this is a prefectly acceptable way of cooking this type of rice. Nice flavor and a little chewy like brown rice.

there are many sizes of rice packages, and rice is sold in either pounds or volume, not by grains. this is why your question cannot have a straight answer.
a rice field is called a patty field
