Theoretically, with an area of 2.98 million square kilometers, India is the largest country in South Asia and the seventh in the world. Although India does not have as much land as China, it has more arable land than China. According to statistics, India's cultivated land area is 16 million hectares, ranking second in the world, second only to the United States, ranking first in Asia, higher than China's 13 million hectares.

from the simple geographical environment, the geographical environment of India is much superior to that of China. India's plains account for 4% of the land area, mountainous areas account for 25%, and plateaus account for 1/3. Moreover, India's terrain is low and flat, and the transportation is convenient. It is located in the tropical monsoon climate zone, which is very suitable for agricultural production, especially in the tropics where the upper reaches of rivers and other rivers are alluvial. Most of the land can be used for agricultural land development and crop growth all year round. It can be said that Indian agricultural development environment has unique natural conditions, which are much stronger than those in China.

If we discuss the size of cultivated land, we can't say that India accounts for 2% of the world. Because although India's area is less than 1/3 of China's, its cultivated land area is far larger than China's. India's arable land accounts for 51.6% of the total land area, about 1.5 million square kilometers, while China's arable land only accounts for about 14% of the total land area, about 1.35 million square kilometers.

China's arable land area is generally smaller than India's, but China's grain output is more than 2.5 times that of India. What is even more surprising is that India is a major grain exporter, and India's grain export is the main source of foreign exchange income. As we all know, China is a major grain importer. But in 217, China imported 95.54 million tons of soybeans, most of which were used for aquaculture.
