    This document discusses singular and plural verbs used with collective nouns like rice and seafood. It notes that rice and seafood take singular verbs like "is" rather than plural verbs like "are" since they refer to the items collectively. It also explains that the verb "shipped" does not need to be the singular "is" when used with seafood since the singular "is" was already used for the verb "caught".

    Are grown Are consumed


    Are exported Is grown
    Is cultivated
    Is caught shipped
    Are employed

    Remember that: RICE and SEAFOOD are collective words, it means that they are singular words.
    Cause for we use is and nor are
    In the case of shipped is not necessary to use is because we already use is in caught and we
    are talking about the same thing = seafood
