The first staple crop in South Carolina was rice, introduced in the late 17th century. Its cultivation quickly became a central part of the state's economy, particularly in the Lowcountry region. The success of rice farming relied heavily on the labor of enslaved Africans, who brought their agricultural knowledge and techniques to the region. This crop significantly shaped South Carolina's agricultural landscape and cultural heritage.
