Is rice better in Brazil ?

I've never been to Brazil but I always hear how much better the fresh produce is there, actual fresh and top quality vegetables

What about rice ? I love Argentina but I find the quality of rice deplorable. It's such a huge part of my culture it actually makes me depressed how bad it is. The supermarket rice here is inedible ( my opinion, I'm not claiming to be god ). Those specialist stores are hardly better .,. Just because a big clear plastic container says "Jasmina rice" or basmati I don't believe it for a second. The quality is awful and I think they just got some regular trash from a supermarket, poured it into a clear container, labelled and put the price up 5x

Brazil has MUCH fresher and better produce (fruits and vegetables) vs. Argentina. I don't know why they are so bad overall here. Rice is excellent in Brazil. You will find a much better food quality in Brazil vs. Argentina. I also think the steaks there are also delicious.
 
I didn't notice many places with rice dishes in Argentina compared to many other Latin American countries. Brazil has feijão which is delicious and the rice is amazing. Fruits in Rio when I went were very fresh. Buenos Aires has neighborhood verdulerias around each neighborhood and quality was ok but in the store fruits and vegetables were very sad compared to the typical grocery store in the US.
