Why can't rice be grown in Northeast China?

The climate and soil conditions in Northeast China are not suitable for growing rice. First of all, the summer in Northeast China is short, which is not conducive to the growth and development of rice. Generally, there is only a suitable growth period of 3-4 months, and rice usually needs a long growth period to obtain a bumper harvest. Secondly, the soil in the northeast is mainly black soil, which is fertile but has poor drainage, which is not conducive to the growth of rice. In addition, there is less precipitation in Northeast China, so rice needs high water supply to grow well, and the water supply in Northeast China is also difficult, which is not suitable for planting rice.

On the contrary, Northeast China is suitable for planting food crops, such as wheat and corn, which is more suitable for the climate and soil in this area and easier to manage and plant. At the same time, the northeast of China is also an important area for planting soybeans, which occupies a very important position in Asian food culture. At the same time, soybean is rich in protein and is often used to make tofu, soybean milk and other foods.
