   Rice growers used to be seriously affected by the adverse medium in which they worked (damp, mud, parasites and associated diseases) and their work was hardly ever valued and recognised. In the past it was not easy to transform a marsh into farmland, bearing in mind that they only had very rude and primitive tools and the power of animals and people.
 

 
   High quality local varieties of rice such as bombón and pegonil have been developed in the area apart from the extensive growth of the bomba variety. armers have for some years now been developing experimental ecologically-grown types of rice of up to 17 varieties which may represent the future of these rice fields.
