Detailed explanation-1: -Rice is by far the most important crop throughout Asia-90% of the world’s production and consumption occurs in this region.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Mekong River Delta (the ‘Rice Bowl’) in southern Vietnam is where most of Vietnam’s rice is grown. Rice is also grown in the Red River Delta in the northeast part of the country, and on the north-central coast. Most rice grown in Vietnam is wet-rice, meaning that it is grown in flooded fields rather than dry land.
Detailed explanation-3: -While rice remains the primary agricultural crop in the region, other crops such as corn, coffee, cocoa, as well as fruits and vegetables, are also fundamental. Moreover, some regions specialize in fresh and canned fish, as well as livestock.
Detailed explanation-4: -The earliest evidence of rice cultivation in Mainland Southeast Asia come from the Ban Chiang site in northern Thailand (ca. 2000 to 1500 BC); and the An Sơn site in southern Vietnam (ca. 2000 to 1200 BC). A genomic study indicates that rice diversified into Maritime Southeast Asia between 2, 500 and 1, 500 years ago.
