China produces 145 million metric tonnes of rice in a year. 27 percent of all the rice growing around the world grows China alone. At the same time, Thailand grows only 21 million metric tons of rice every year. Now the question arises that why does China fall behind by growing so much rice?
The answer to this question is China’s population. The population of Thailand is only 7 crores. After growing rice, it also exports it on a large scale, but China has a population of 141 crores.

This is the reason that China is at number nine in terms of exporting rice. Whereas in rice yield, India is second after India.
