What's the difference between 'available' and 'found' in the following sentence?

1- There are different types of rice available/found in India.

What's your source? What's the context for the sentence?

Available - You can get it in India. It may or may not have been grown there.
Found - It could mean the same as "available" but depending on context it could also mean "rice that grows in India".

@thehammer Did you know there are different types of rice in India?
@Tarheel I would assume so.
@thehammer Don't you want to go to India and try all the varieties of rice they have there?
@Tarheel No, I do not.
@thehammer Why is that? Do you have something against India?
@Tarheel Not at all. But I don't have to go all the way to India for rice. I can get it here.

@thehammer Context usually tells you everything you need to know. For example, context usually tells you everything you need to know about the meaning of a particular word.
