Preface
Potatoes, also known as potatoes, have a certain status in the world, many countries can't put it down, according to relevant data show that India, as a "hungry country", has a potato production of 50 million tons.
Even Russia is fond of potatoes, and the output can reach 21 million tons, so what is China's potato output as a big grain country?
India is the second largest potato producer in the world
When it comes to India, all that comes to mind is skinny children and some "clean and hygienic" food. Even India, a large country, has the nickname "Hungry Country".
It is such a country that cultivates a very considerable area, and can even reach twice the area cultivated by China, you must know that there is a certain gap between India's own land area and China, but it can surpass China in terms of cultivated area.
With such farming conditions, why do most people in India still have enough to eat? In fact, this has something to do with the national conditions and climatic characteristics of the Indian country, because the weather in India basically belongs to the subtropical monsoon weather.
In such an environment, there is not much problem for the plants that are cultivated, and it is reasonable to say that fertile land can produce more food, but the development of agriculture in India is not satisfactory.
There are several kinds of grain mainly grown in India, including corn, soybeans, potatoes and other crops, because the soil is very fertile, most of the crops grown in India are harvested twice a year or three times a year, even in this case, there will still be people who can't fill their stomachs.
And the population growth data is gradually rising every year, so there will be more and more people and the food supply will not keep up, which will also cause more people to not eat.
Most of the reasons are related to the development of agriculture, compared with the modern agricultural development of other countries, there are still some shortcomings in India's development, they basically rely on the harvest to rely on the sky for food.
According to previous statistics, India ranks second in the world in terms of grain production, and their main crops rice and wheat, including potatoes, have good income data, wheat has even reached 113 million tons, and rice also has 118 million, in the output of potatoes, but reached more than 50 million tons.
Potato production is the second largest in the world, but the price of food exports from India is staggering, which also creates a situation where it is not enough to make ends meet.
In addition, India's national conditions also lead to the fact that the land is not in the hands of farmers, and their hard work is just working for others, which is why India, as a big food country, still has many people who do not have enough to eat.
Russia can't put it down
Potatoes can be found everywhere in Russia, and they occupy a very important place in their diet, and they are cooked in a variety of ways.
There is only what you can't think of, there is nothing they can't do, it can be said that the little potato is simply played by them in the hands of the Russians.
It can also be seen from the love of potatoes among the Russians that they have their own skills in growing potatoes as a crop, and Russia is located in the north.
Their geography, part of which is relatively low in temperature, is beneficial for the growth of potatoes, which have been introduced to Russia for a long time.
Back at the end of the 17th century, the tsar of the time, on his travels, discovered the potato for the first time, and after tasting the delicacy, brought it back to Russia.
In the subsequent promotion, Russian farmers are also constantly groping, and even some people just saw potatoes, because they looked like fruits, and even ate them raw, but they did not expect to be poisoned.
Therefore, the peasants were afraid of this poisonous food, and in the subsequent development, there was a famine in Russia, and in order to further solve this problem, the tsar at that time decided to continue to promote the potato.
Russia is the third largest producer of potatoes after India, and in Russian culture, potatoes are a staple food that can be found in every family's kitchen.
Potatoes do not look good, but they can be used as a reserve food, and they have a soft and waxy taste, which is suitable for all kinds of cooking methods. With the development of Russia, the population is also increasing, and in order to better feed people, the number of crops such as potatoes with high yields and easy to grow is increasing.
Although the climate in Russia is very cold, the cultivation area is very large, and the country also attaches great importance to the development of agriculture.
According to relevant data, the output of potatoes alone in Russia can reach 21 million tons, which directly squeezes out the third place in the United States.
India has a vast area of arable land, and potatoes are one of their main crops, and the yield of cultivation is also very impressive, firmly ranking second in the country.
And Russia, because of its love of potatoes, which is a staple food source in daily life, ranks third in the production of potatoes, so who is the first one? What will be the first output?
What is the production in China
As a big grain country, China is also very considerable in potato cultivation, in fact, India's cultivated area is twice that of China, but China can still firmly occupy the first place in potato production.
According to relevant data, China's potato production is about 90 million tons, which is much more than the output of India and Russia combined.
China's ability to produce such a considerable amount of output is inseparable from our daily agricultural development. You must know that there is a saying in China called "the people take food as the sky", food is the most basic guarantee for people's survival, and people's pursuit of food is very important.
Unlike other major crops grown in China, the potato is grown in a place that has a very weak impact on the weather and region, and can be said to be quite "not squeamish".
There is a clear difference between potatoes and wheat and rice, which are the main crops, first of all, in terms of storage conditions, potatoes are longer, and the grains made from potatoes are also diverse.
So what are the differences between China and India, and will India catch up with China to become the first in the cultivation of crops?
Comparison between China and India
China and India are both big producers of grain, and compared with India, the mainland far surpasses India in terms of land area, ranking third in the world, and three times the size of India.
However, India has more arable land than China, and while vigorously developing urban construction, the mainland has not forgotten the construction of rural areas.
According to some relevant data, the mainland far surpasses India in the output of agricultural products, but the main varieties of agricultural products in the two countries are similar.
Most of them are staple foods, including rice, corn, wheat and potatoes, etc., and different crops also have different requirements in terms of living conditions, so the planting position of different types is also different.
According to relevant data, China's wheat and rice production in 2022 ranked first in the world, while India's output of these two crops ranked second in the world, closely behind China.
The United States and Brazil are among the top producers of crops such as corn and soybeans, and we can see that the addition of modern technology in agricultural production will increase the output of agricultural products. For potatoes as a crop, China ranks first, followed by India in second place.
summary
It can be seen that the development of modern science and technology has a certain impact on agricultural production, scientific planting is the first choice, and the development of agriculture is also the guarantee of people's happy life.
