            Hey, I interpret your question as if you ask about  GRAMS  (or kilograms)  of rice.

            Otherwise,  for what reason do you mention about the mass of one grain ?

            Are you sure that you know what you want to ask for ?


     g-r-a-i-n-s,  or   grams = 3355443 grams (rounded) = 3355.443 kilograms = 3.355 tons (metric tons).     ANSWER

Solved.
