Location factors affecting agriculture

The location factors affecting agriculture are introduced as follows:

The main factors affecting agricultural location are climate, topography, soil, market, transportation, policy, science and technology, labor price and so on.

1 climate

Climate, heat, light, precipitation and other climatic factors have great influence on agricultural location. The growth and development of different animals and plants need different climatic conditions, and the distribution of climatic conditions has obvious regional differences. Therefore, the choice of agriculture in a region should fully consider the local climate factors.

Step 2: zone

Different terrain areas are suitable for developing different types of agriculture. Plain area has flat terrain and deep soil layer, which is suitable for developing planting industry; Farming in mountainous areas is inconvenient and soil and water conservation is difficult, but it is suitable for developing animal husbandry. The vertical differentiation of natural conditions in mountainous areas makes the distribution of crops vary with altitude.

3. Land

Soil is the material basis of crop growth. Different soil types are suitable for growing different crops.

4. Water source

The influence of water resources on agriculture, especially irrigated agriculture and oasis agriculture, can be said to play a vital role.

5. Market

Only when agricultural products are sold in the market can their value be realized. Therefore, the market demand ultimately determines the type and scale of agricultural production.

Step 6 transport

The choice of agriculture must fully consider the local traffic conditions. Horticulture, dairy industry, etc. Because their products are perishable and need convenient and fast transportation conditions.

7. Policy

Agriculture in all countries of the world is influenced by national policies and government intervention.

8. Technology

Science and technology mainly affect agricultural location by affecting other location conditions.

9. Labor force

The quality and quantity of labor force will also affect the agricultural location. For example, the difference between mechanized agriculture in developed countries and traditional agriculture in developing countries.

10, industrial and agricultural basis

The quality of industrial base and agricultural base in a region will affect the agricultural location to some extent.
