Which province is the largest agricultural province in China?

The largest agricultural province in China is Shandong Province.

Shandong plain is vast and suitable for developing agriculture. At the same time, the terrain is flat and suitable for mechanized operation. You can harvest grain twice a year, which can make up for the shortage of land. Besides food, vegetables and fruits in Shandong are also famous. Shouguang is known as the "hometown of vegetables", and its apples and pears are famous all over the country. At the same time, Shandong is close to the sea and has convenient trade. Shandong is known as the vegetable basket of Japan, South Korea and Russia, and 80% of Russian vegetables and fruits come from Shandong.

Shandong Province is not only the third largest province in GDP and the second largest province in population in China, but also the third largest province in grain production and the largest province in vegetable production in China. Secondly, Henan is similar to Shandong, with the fifth GDP, the third population and the second grain and vegetable output. However, Shandong has a long coastline and many high-quality fishing grounds, and animal husbandry ranks in the forefront of the country. So in all respects, Shandong is a big agricultural province.
