Distribution, characteristics and location factors of monsoon rice field agriculture
Features:
Small scale agriculture
Mainly family-run, with less arable land per capita, and little farmland cultivated by each household.
moderate scale management
High yield and low commodity rate
Intensive cultivation leads to high yield per unit area, but due to small production scale and large population, the rice produced is mainly self-sufficient, with low mechanization and scientific and technological level.
Location factors (taking Asia as an example): natural factors
climate
Mainly distributed in tropical, subtropical and temperate monsoon climate zones, with sufficient high temperature and heat all year round or in summer; Most of them are concentrated in areas with annual precipitation above 800 mm, with abundant precipitation, rain and heat in the same period, sufficient water sources and convenient irrigation.
Step 2: zone
Mainly concentrated in plains, basins and hilly areas, with flat terrain, deep soil layer and fertile soil.
Socio-economic factors
3. Labor force
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.
4. 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.
5. Production habits
Rice planting in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia has a long history and rich traditional experience.
6. partial eclipse
Rice is the main food that local people like.
