Detailed explanation-1: -Rice is China’s most important crop, raised on about 25% of the cultivated area. The majority of rice is grown south of the Huai River, in the Zhu Jiang delta, and in the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces.
Detailed explanation-2: -China is the world’s largest rice producer, utilising 30 million hectares of land for rice farming in 2021, and producing a harvest of 210 million tonnes, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Rice is the staple food for 65% of China’s population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rice was grown primarily south of the Yangzi River. This area had many advantages over the north China plain, as the climate is warmer and rainfall more plentiful. The mild temperatures of the south often allowed two crops to be grown on the same plot of land-a summer and a winter crop.
Detailed explanation-4: -Just 10 countries are responsible for almost 85% of the world’s rice production. China and India are the top two producers, accounting for more than half of the global total.
