When it comes to grain, everyone will definitely think of these few words: People are iron, rice is steel, and they are hungry and panicked when they don't eat! The people eat for heaven... This shows how important food is to people's lives. In the previous hungry years when there was no enough to eat, the importance of food to people was self-evident, and the greatest wish of every family was to be able to eat a full meal. In today's peaceful and prosperous world where everyone can eat and wear warmth, food is equally important, and everyone remembers the intake of three meals a day every day. Since food is so important, which country has the most food? Let's walk into the first food country in Europe to see it!
As we all know, The land of Ukraine is fertile and is one of the three largest black lands in the world. To exaggerate, what is thrown on the black soil of Ukraine is what is long, then if you throw grain, you will naturally grow grain! Therefore, Ukraine claims to be the first grain country in Europe. However, the eastern European plain is so large, why is ukraine the only country known as the first grain country in Europe? The reason is simple, which is to talk about the "mother river" that is very important to it, the Dnieper River.
The Dnieper River in Ukraine originates in the Valdai hills of western Russia, is 2285 kilometers long, flows roughly southward, and then it becomes the boundary river between Belarus and Russia, and finally has little to do with Russia. When the Dnieper Entered Belarus, it first flowed through the southeast of Belarus and then became the boundary river between Ukraine and Belarus. After some twists and turns, the Dnieper River bids farewell to Russia once and for all, enters Ukraine, and then flows through central Ukraine into the Black Sea.
There are many tributaries of the Dnieper River, and its upper reaches are always converted into water by a large amount of ice and snow every winter and spring, so the water source of the Dnieper River is very rich. The black soil of Ukraine is mostly distributed in the east and central part of Ukraine, that is, the Dnieper River just runs through the black soil in central Ukraine, so the black soil has enough water. After the Dnieper Entered Ukraine, the channel became so wide that it was no longer like a river, but more like a huge lake. Without the nourishment of the Dnieper River, it is difficult for Ukraine to produce a large amount of grain, and it will not gain the reputation of the first grain country in Europe, so the Dnieper River is a great hero of Ukraine!
In the Soviet era, although the Ukrainian member states were far smaller than the plains of the Russian countries, the most important grain production base of the Soviet Union was the Ukrainian member states, and Ukraine also had a well-known title at that time - bread basket! Among the 15 member states of the Soviet Union, the Russian member state is the well-deserved first place, but the Ukrainian member country has the confidence of grain, and its strength is indisputable in the second place among the Soviet union member countries! Without the Dnieper, which played a vital role in Ukraine's black soil, Ukraine would not have had the honor it has today! Do you want to go to Ukraine to see the Dnieper? There are also many beautiful women and beautiful scenery in Ukraine that are also worth seeing!
