Rice is eaten in many countries.
The active sentence 'People eat rice in many countries' is in the simple present tense with the general subject 'People'.

In the simple present passive the verb takes the form 'is/are + past participle', so 'eat' becomes 'is eaten' to agree with the singular subject 'rice'.
When the agent is a vague, general word like 'people', the 'by people' phrase is normally left out because it adds no useful information.
This gives the natural passive 'Rice is eaten in many countries.'
