China's monsoon climate belongs to subtropical monsoon climate zone. The climate advantage of developing rice planting in China is that it is rainy and hot at the same time, with abundant precipitation and sufficient heat.
Socio-economic factors of paddy field development in South Asia;
1, labor
The production process of rice planting is complex, labor-intensive and requires a lot of labor. East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia are densely populated and rich in labor.
2. Cultivated land per capita
The main rice planting industries in Asia are densely populated, with less arable land per capita and high rice yield per unit area. Planting rice can alleviate the population's pressure on land and demand for food.
3. Production habits
Rice planting in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia has a long history and rich traditional experience.
4. partial eclipse
Rice is the main food that local people like.
Characteristics of developing rice field industry in South Asia
1, small-scale farming. Rice production in monsoon paddy field is based on family. Due to the shortage of cultivated land per capita, every household has little cultivated land. The paddy field cultivated by every household in southern China is generally less than 1 hectare.
2. High yield per unit area. Farmers intensively cultivate in the fields, which makes the yield of rice per unit area higher. However, due to the small scale of production, the total output of rice per household is not large.
3. The commodity rate is low. Restricted by traditional ideas and economic level, farmers keep a considerable part of the collected rice for their own use, but the rice sent to the market for sale is very limited.
4. The level of mechanization and science and technology is relatively low. Farmers generally engage in manual labor. Although electric irrigation threshing has developed rapidly in recent twenty years and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has gradually increased, on the whole, the mechanization level and scientific and technological level of monsoon paddy field agriculture are still relatively low.
5. The amount of water conservancy projects is large. Irrigation is the basis of rice production. Frequent floods and droughts in monsoon region pose a great threat to rice production. Small-scale farmers are unable to build water conservancy projects, so they need a lot of government investment to organize water conservancy projects.
Characteristics of paddy field industry development in China;
1. China's rice yield is high, but it has a large population, large consumption and low commodity rate.
2. The mechanization level of rice production in China is low, and the scientific and technological content is also low.
3. China's rice planting scale is small, which is a type of agricultural production in the form of household contract responsibility system and mainly operated by small farmers.
4. Without socialized large-scale production, China is located in the monsoon climate zone, with a large amount of water conservancy projects.
