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.
