That's enough rice, to feed a family of 4, for a year, with out eating any other type of food, but the occasional fruit.

A ton of rice seems to be a bit much for four people to eat! Six cups of cooked rice a day for 365 days would be about 123 kg of dry rice per year. (This page says average consumption is 136 kg/year.) To eat up a 1000-kg metric ton of rice, or a 907 kg "short" ton, you probably would need to expand the family considerably.
