Paddy and wheat are currently the two major ration crops in China, with a total annual output of about 350 million tons. In 2018 , China's total rice output reached about 220 million tons, ranking first in the world. The total output is also about 125 million tons, which also occupies the first place in the world.

Not only that, China's current planting area of ​​rice and wheat, and annual consumption data are also absolute leaders in the world!


The main differences between rice and wheat should be in terms of geographical distribution, growth cycle, and final yield and consumption.

Paddy cultivation is mostly in the south and wheat is mostly in the north.


Wheat has a longer growth period and rice has a shorter growth period.

As we all know, wheat is a typical annual crop, and most of it is sown in the autumn and winter of each year, and then harvested in the summer of the following year. Overall, the growth period is as long as 8 to 9 months.

And rice is typical of two seasons a year in many areas of southern China, with an average growth cycle of only 3 to 4 months, even in Guangdong, Hainan and other places where the latitude is south and the thermal conditions are better, it can even appear for one year. Three seasons of rice cultivation. Therefore, the wheat cycle in China as a whole is significantly longer than the growth cycle of rice. Therefore, in many northern regions, one acre of wheat can only produce about 1,000 kg per year , while in the southern region, one acre of rice can produce 2,000 kg per year. About grain.

It can be seen that the overall output of these two major ration crops in China is higher than the market demand, which means that the current ration supply of our country is in an overall excess state, which is why China has completely The fundamental reason for eliminating the poor is that China's ration crop supply and output are large enough to pay attention to ensuring the basic needs of all Chinese people for food and clothing.
