Why doesn t China grow long grain rice from India and Thailand on a large scale?

As one of China's neighbors, many people still know India well. I believe that many people know about the trains and the water of the Ganges River in India and are also interested in their food. We have seen through TV and movies** that Indians eat pilaf, and every time it is a big pot of fried rice.

And with the addition of various spices, many people say that the Indians can't eat a good pot of rice.

In fact, I really don't know if it tastes good or not, anyway, they like it themselves. But has anyone noticed that sometimes when you see a relatively delicate Indian rice, you will find that the rice is so big and one by one, more than three times longer than the rice we usually eat? What kind of rice did they eat?

There are three varieties of rice: indica, japonica and glutinous. We generally eat japonica rice in northern cities in China, like the famous Northeast rice, and pearl rice is japonica rice. In the area north of the Yangtze River, indica rice is generally planted, such as Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangdong, and Guangdong's indica rice variety Silk Miao is a very famous indica rice.

And this long rice in India also belongs to Indica. Indica rice is divided into long-grain rice and medium-grain rice, and our country is all medium-grain rice. In India, this is long-grain rice.

The northern part of India is the main production area of this rice, and rice is also a high-quality ingredient in India, and it is generally exported to European and American countries, and Indians themselves eat inferior rice.

The taste of indica rice is not so glutinous compared to japonica rice, and it is clearly grainy when eaten in the mouth, unlike japonica rice, which is sticky and sticky when eaten. To make fried rice, these are required to use indica rice. Indians rarely eat white rice, they eat it after it has been cooked.

It is a fried rice that is often seen in Indians adding a variety of seasonings to the pot.

The minimum export standards for this long rice from India must be millimeters in length and 2 millimeters in width. After cooking, the total volume of the rice is also required to expand by 4 times, and the length is at least doubled. In other words, the length of cooked rice grains should be more than 1 cm.

It's no wonder that many people don't dare to eat rice cooked with Indian rice for the first time.

Indian rice is non-sticky and has a strong aroma. Moreover, Indian rice does not stick to your hands when it is cooked. This is because the process of processing rice in India is also different, because Indians eat pilaf, so in order not to stick to their hands, when processing rice, they will steam the soaked rice again, and the cooked rice will be dried before the rice is milled, so that the rice will not get on the hands when cooked.

India is the world's largest exporter of rice, exporting at least 10 million tonnes of rice every year, equivalent to a quarter of the world's rice exports. Although there are still a large number of people in India who are starving, they are really suffering for the sake of foreign exchange.

Because the geographical environment of China is different from that of India and Thailand, the soil and temperature are not suitable for growing long-grain rice.

Because long-grain rice is not suitable for China's climate, nor is it suitable for China's soil.

Each country has its own rice that people like to eat, so there is no need to follow suit.

Because the common rice in India and Thailand has high requirements for the external environment, China has no way to grow it on a large scale.

That's because Thai and Indian long-grain rice is more nutritious, tastes better, and is more popular.

Because this rice is not easy to preserve, it is rare to grow this rice on a large scale, so it is better to use your own rice from China.

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice in China, and his team worked hard to develop hybrid rice, which can be said to be world-famous. It has solved the problem of food and clothing for 1.4 billion people. In India and Thailand, which are adjacent to our country.

Their rice exports are very much in the world. In the early years, it took more than ten yuan to buy a pound in China. This level of popularity and popularity can't help but make people wonder why China doesn't grow long-grain rice from India and Thailand on a large scale?

Next, I will take you to ** after all. <>

1. Affected by climatic factors.

Due to the influence of the climate, the establishment of rice can only grow well and produce high yields in the climatic conditions of India and Thailand. During the flowering period of rice, due to the high temperature required for rice during this period, although the southern part of China can meet the high temperature conditions, the climate of China and India and Thailand is somewhat different, and the aroma of the rice grown is also different. So the yield is not high.

There are even fewer people who plant. <>

Second, the influence of food taste.

Thai fragrant rice also has a prototype in our country, which is indica rice. We also have our own Indica hybrid rice, which is longer in shape, but judging from the reaction, Indica is not popular with everyone, and it does not taste good. Due to the gradual improvement of living standards in recent years, the pursuit of food taste is also getting higher and higher.

Nowadays, people prefer japonica rice from the north. Its taste and aroma are very in line with the eating habits of Chinese people. Since Chinese people eat rice, they generally like to use it for steaming.

Indica rice, on the other hand, is more suitable for fried rice, and the lack of starch content makes it difficult for the rice grains to stick, so this is very advantageous when making fried rice. And India is very fond of pilaf because their rice is sticky. However, this feature does not meet the needs of Chinese people, so it is difficult to promote it in the Chinese market.

The dedication of Chinese scientists has made a qualitative leap in the yield and taste of rice in China. So Thai and Indian long-grain rice may not necessarily open up markets in China. Since there is a shortage of these two major rice exporting countries, a large amount of indica rice is sold to the world market every year, and there is competition in the country, so it is difficult to breed.

Because the climate of China and India is different from that of Thailand, and the temperature of the environment is not the same as that of Zhengshi, there is no large-scale planting of potato front, which is not suitable for planting this kind of rice.

Because the growing environment of this kind of rice needs to be relatively humid, most of China is relatively dry in the plains, so it cannot be cultivated on a large scale.

Because there are excellent rice varieties in China, there is no need to sow rice from other countries at all, and the environment is not suitable.

What suits you is the best, China is a vast country, and a single attribute of rice cannot meet the diverse land needs.

It is because the long-grain rice of India and Thailand is not suitable for growing in the soil of China at all, but only for the soil and environment of India and Thailand.

Because long-grain rice from India and Thailand is not very popular with everyone, the demand is not particularly large, and there are very few places where this long-grain rice adapts to the climate and temperature in China, so it is said that China does not grow it on a large scale.

Because China's soil environment and weather are not suitable for India, the cultivation of long-grain rice in Thailand will affect the yield.

When traveling abroad, many people will find that the rice is in the shape of long strips, and these rice are all long-grain rice from India and Thailand. But this kind of long-grain rice is not planted on a large scale in our country, mainly because this kind of rice is not delicious, although it looks very good-looking, but people who have eaten rice for a long time will know that this long-grain rice is not fragrant to chew, and it tastes very bad. In addition, although the yield of this long-grain rice is very high, its sales in China are relatively poor.

And the Chinese must hope that they love to eat, that will grow some local rice, not this kind of rice.

There are many kinds of rice, and in most cases, people like to eat the best quality rice in Tohoku. This kind of Northeast rice is very fragrant, the quality is also very good, and it is very pleasant to eat. In addition, there is the rice produced in the southern region, which has a relatively large yield, can be planted several times a year, and also has the dining table of most people.

So these rice are actually enough, and there are also some hybrid rice, so they meet the food needs of the Chinese. But long grain rice like the one in India and Thailand is something that many Chinese are not used to, and it tastes strange. So there are some in foreign countries, but very few in China, and this kind of rice is mainly exported.

Although people don't feel anything when they eat in their daily lives, food is still very important. For example, when you are short of daily necessities and your body is restricted, if you don't even have rice or vegetables at this time, then you will feel very miserable. Therefore, we must cherish grain and ensure the interests of the peasants.

After all, this is also a legitimate profession, and it can also make people gain a lot of sense of achievement, and farmers should also be respected.

The cultures of different regions are different, although they are all influenced by Confucian culture, and many East Asian countries have cultural similarities. But there are still differences in diet, so there is no need to blindly demand that you be the same as others.

In China, due to the influence of the climate, the yield will not be particularly high, and it is also affected by the taste of drinking and eating food, and most people in China are not used to eating rice with high starch content. Weiga belt.

Because the air and environment in our country are different from those in Thailand and India, the rice in India and Thailand is not very high in China, and the taste may change.

Because the climate in our country is not very hot, and the soil conditions and climate are not mature, long-grain rice from Thailand cannot be grown.

Because of the climate, long-grain rice is not suitable for growing in China, and unlike the taste of the Chinese, many people do not like to eat it.

1. Affected by climatic factors. Long-grain rice is affected by the climate, which can only grow well under the climatic conditions of Thailand and India, and the yield is high, and the rice produced is not only long-grained, but also fragrant, and very popular. However, because the climate of our country is somewhat different from the climate of Thailand and India, the low yield of fragrant rice grown in our country is the main reason, because the yield is not high, so even if there are not many people who promote planting, it is because of the influence of climatic factors.

2. Affected by dietary taste. Thailand's fragrant rice is boiled out hard, not soft, not conducive to the absorption of nutrients, and it does not taste as our country's hybrid rice, as well as Wuchang rice and Northeast rice, which are more suitable for the taste of the Chinese people, so affected by taste, most people do not like to eat.

Because China also has its own special rice, there is no need to plant other varieties, and the special rice of our own country can also have a good sales and market.

China has a large area of plains to grow rice, and China's father of rice, Yuan Longping, invented hybrid rice, which is very suitable for growing in China, and the yield will be high.

Because its yield is not very high, its taste is a bit unacceptable to us, and the living environment in Thailand is different from ours.

The main reason is that this plant can be planted only because it is suitable for that very hot weather, and it is very unsuitable for potatoes in the environment of Tongduan China, so it is not planted on a large scale.

Although Thailand has a high yield of long-grain rice, the taste is not suitable for Chinese sullen skinners, and once planted, it is easy to lose market. The yield of water lead rice varieties in China is also very high. It is more popular with Chinese people. Anterior chaps.

Because the soil in China is not suitable for the growth of this rice, the yield of this rice in the Chinese soil will be very low.

Because long-grain rice has particularly high requirements for the external environment and temperature, there are very few such geographical environments in China, so there is no large-scale cultivation.

Mr. Yuan Longping and his team, as well as the research department of rice varieties across the country, carry out research and development every year, promote rice varieties suitable for planting in other parts of our country, and promote new high-quality and high-yield rice products every year. In India, the rice varieties they grow in Thailand are probably the best in their country. If it is introduced into our country, not only can the yield be reduced, but even if the yield is not reduced, the quality of rice may also decline after it is introduced into our country.

Rice may not taste good, some people, why don't China grow long-grain fragrant rice from India and Thailand on a large scale?

Advanced industrial products can be introduced, advanced production technology can be introduced, this kind of thing is not adapted to the water and soil, and only grain varieties can not adapt to the water and soil. If we don't have good rice varieties, and India and Thailand have good rice varieties, we can consider introducing them, but there is a reason why we don't introduce them. The main thing is that these flavors do not quite meet the tastes of our Chinese, and the planting conditions do not allow it.

You know, our country is one of the first countries in the world to grow rice. It can be said to be world-class in terms of rice cultivation technology. The hybrid rice grown by Yuanlong Pingyuan Company is also the most productive rice in the world.

So basmati rice and Thai basmati rice are not suitable for China. Only we can decide. No matter how expensive a foreign flavor is, if it does not conform to China's national conditions, it will not be cultivated and popularized.

What are the types of rice? There are three main varieties of rice: indica, japonica, and glutinous.

The rice is thin, beige white, and the transparency is somewhat worse than that of other species. When boiling indica rice, it has strong absorption and large expansion, so the meal rate is relatively high, and the boiled rice is soft, tough, non-sticky, delicate in taste, delicious, and very suitable for us southerners**. The basic indica rice grown in the southern region of our country is indica rice, and both Indian and Thai flavors belong to indica rice, but the body is relatively long and the aroma is strong.

Most of the rice grains are oval-shaped, and the rice grains are slightly fat, sticky, and have little expansion. The colored wax is transparent or translucent, the texture is hard, tough, sticky after cooking, soft and delicious, but the consumption rate is low, and the yield is much lower than that of rice. It is cultivated all over China, and there are many in the north, and the common ones are Northeast rice and pearl rice.

Currently, 2 percent of the world's population lives on a staple diet. Glutinous rice is different from glutinous rice and japonica rice, glutinous rice is peeled rice, while indica rice and japonica rice are rice peeled rice. Glutinous rice is opaque white, glutinous rice is more sticky, not easy to digest, can not be eaten as a staple food, often used to make flavor snacks, porridge, glutinous rice balls, etc.
