Agriculture in the People's Republic of China : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agriculture in China
Agriculture is a vital industry in China, employing over 300 million farmers.〔(Communiqué on Major Data of the Second National Agricultural Census of China (No.1) ) National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2008. Copy on Internet Archive.〕 China ranks first in worldwide farm output, primarily producing rice, wheat, potatoes, tomato, sorghum, peanuts, tea, millet, barley, cotton, oilseed and soybeans. Although accounting for only 10 percent of arable land worldwide, it produces food for 20 percent of the world's population. ==History== Beginning in about 7500 BC with classical millet agriculture, China's development of farming over the course of its history has played a key role in supporting the growth of what is now the largest population in the world. Jared Diamond estimated that the earliest attested domestication of rice took place in China by 7500 BC Excavations at Kuahuqiao, the earliest known Neolithic site in eastern China, have documented rice cultivation 7,700 years ago. Finds at the ruins of the Hemudu Culture in Yuyao and Banpo Village near Xi'an, which all date back 6,000 to 7,000 years, include rice, millet, and spade-like farm tools made of stone and bone. The first signs of settled agriculture, however, were around 5000 BC. There is also a long tradition involving agriculture, in Chinese mythology.
