What is the major crop grown in China?

Answer 1

Rice

Answer 2

Grains are the chief crop, accounting for 70% of the total value of crop output and occupying 80% of all land under cultivation. Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan together account for about 25% of the total crop value.

The main food crops are rice, wheat, and corn, followed by kaoliang (a type of sorghum), millet, potatoes, and soybeans. China is the world's leading producer of rice, with production increasing from 106.6 million tons in 1970 to an estimated 200.5 million tons (34% of the world's total) in 1999. Over 90% of all rice is produced in southern China, with two (and in the far south, three) crops being grown each year

Answer 3

Food is a perishable commodity, it cannot be shipped everywhere in its edible form. The means of growing food are not in the `right` places, you have lush soil in one country because it has the right amount of sunshine and rain, so it feeds its` people. In other countries you have arid conditions where nothing will grow and the country cannot feed its` peoples. If they had the same conditions as for example the U.K.has, then starvation would be a thing of the past. There must be some one somewhere in this world, that can `invent` irrigation systems to take sea-water, de-salinate it and pipe it to arid regions. I know this is expensive, but what price life, when thousands die every year?
