Monsoon paddy field agriculture of agricultural regional type

monsoon paddy field agriculture is a unique type of agriculture in humid tropical and subtropical regions. Mainly concentrated in the monsoon areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the tropical rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. Monsoon paddy field agriculture is a kind of intensive agriculture which needs to invest a lot of labor.

Asian monsoon paddy field agriculture has the following characteristics:

First, small-scale peasant management: rice production in monsoon paddy field is family-based. Due to the lack of arable land per capita, there are few fields cultivated by each household. The paddy field cultivated by every household in southern China is generally less than 1 hectare.

second, the yield per unit area is high, but the commodity rate is low: farmers intensively cultivate in the fields, which makes the yield per unit area of rice higher. However, due to the small scale of production, the total output of rice per household is not large. 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.

Third, the level of mechanization and technology is 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.

Fourth, 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.

fifth, the level of science and technology is low;

sixth, rich experience in planting.

solutions: increase investment in science and technology, moderately expand planting scale, build water conservancy facilities and improve farming system.
