Agricultural distribution area of monsoon paddy field
The main distribution areas are East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia monsoon region and Southeast Asia tropical rain forest region. Rice planting is a unique type of agriculture in humid tropical and subtropical regions. Mainly family-run, with less arable land per capita, and little farmland cultivated by each household.
location factors of monsoon paddy field agriculture
1. the climate with the same period of rain and heat
2. paddy soil, fertile soil
3. flat terrain
4. high yield per unit area
5. intensive cultivation
6. abundant water resources
7. large population and large demand
8. Rice production in monsoon paddy field takes family as the unit. Due to the lack of arable land per capita, there is very little land cultivated by each household. 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, while the rice sent to the market for sale is very limited.
4. The level of mechanization and technology is relatively low. Farmers generally engage in manual labor. Although irrigation and threshing by electric power have developed rapidly in the past two decades, 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. There are frequent floods and droughts in monsoon region, which pose a great threat to rice production. Small-scale farmers are unable to build water conservancy projects, and the government needs to invest heavily and organize water conservancy projects.
6. The planting has a long history and rich experience.
