This example displays the rice production of various countries and regions as a list of names paired with numerical values. It uses the D3.js library (version 5) to read data from the `rice.csv` file, which contains country and production columns. The visualization is rendered as SVG elements within a fixed 960 by 480 pixel canvas, though the code currently only loads the data and does not draw any graphical representation of it. The project structure includes a separate `index.js` file that imports the `select` function from D3.
