Introduction: Rice has been cultivated in the south for thousands of years, and most of the rice in the Northeast is on the market. Why did it steal the limelight?
Rice is the most popular staple food in China. In the southern region, rice is an indispensable food for countless families to eat three meals a day.
China has a vast territory, and the climates of the north and south are also quite different, which also leads to differences in eating habits. As we all know, rice is the staple food in the southern region, while in the northern region, the preference is for pasta.
Before I went to the north, I always thought that northerners only eat pasta for three meals a day. Later, I found that many northerners are also in love with eating rice. And many restaurants and restaurants have rice.
However, it is different from the restaurants in the south. Basically, if you eat rice in restaurants in the south, you don’t need to pay for it, but in the north, you generally have to pay more!
If you often go to the supermarket and go to the market to buy rice, you will find that most of the brand rice on the market is produced in the north, especially the rice in the northeast is less famous.
It is obvious that the south is the main producing area of rice, and rice has been grown for thousands of years, while rice has been grown in the north in recent decades. Why is almost all northern rice on the market, and what advantages does it have to steal the limelight from southern rice?
In fact, those who often buy rice know that the price of rice in the north is generally higher, but there are many people who like to buy it. Many people say that the rice from the north is better than the rice from the south. Although not everyone agrees with this statement, the vast majority still agree.
And the minority obeys the majority. Since the rice in the north can sell at a higher price and can occupy the market, it can be seen that it is indeed powerful. And I have to admit that the rice in the north is a little better than the rice in the south, which also has a lot to do with the environment in which it grows.
First, the soil for planting is different.
In the vast northeastern region, there is a well-known black soil, and this is also one of the "three major black soil regions" in the world, and the grains grown here account for one-fifth of the country's total, mainly commercial grains such as corn and japonica.
The ancients often said that "one side of the landscape supports one side of the people", and the growth of plants is inseparable from the soil, and the fertility of the soil also has a crucial impact on the quality of crops.
The black soil in the northeast is a thick layer of humus accumulated over many years by the vegetation of grasslands and meadows under cold climate conditions. It is not only very fertile, but also contains a variety of minerals, so the quality of the rice grown The higher the nutritional value, the higher the nutritional value.
Second, it takes longer to grow.
In the south, due to the high temperature in summer and the long sunshine hours, rice is generally planted in two seasons, and in some places it is even planted three seasons a year.
Farmers who have planted rice know that rice varieties grown once a year are generally more delicious than those grown two seasons. This is why in recent years, some places in the south are promoting the cultivation of single-cropping rice.
The rice grown in the northern region is all single-cropping rice. Such rice has a longer growth cycle, usually about five months, and can absorb more organic matter and nutrients.
At the same time, in the northern region, although the temperature in summer is lower than that in the south, the light is still sufficient, which can still meet the heat demand of rice, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so the quality of rice is higher.
Again, the rice planted in the northern regions has fewer pests and diseases.
Why do you say that? Because in the Northeast region in winter, the temperature is very low, and it is normal to be one or twenty degrees below zero.
And such a low temperature can freeze a lot of underground pests and eggs to death in winter. Therefore, there are fewer pests and diseases, so the pesticides sprayed are also much less.
Finally, rice in the northern region focuses on building a brand, and it is easier to occupy the market with outstanding advantages.
Although the southern region has a long history of rice cultivation, it is still the main producing area of rice. However, the rice grown in the southern region has not formed a brand for a long time.
It is because these kinds of rice are so common in the southern region that they are grown in every household. It has no special features, and there are no enterprises to package and promote it. Since it has not become a brand, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the market.
Now there are many rice brands in the northern region, some of which are even household names, such as Northeast Rice, Jilin Rice, Wuchang Rice, etc.
It is precisely because of the unique geographical advantages of the local area that the unique high quality of northern rice is guaranteed. Coupled with the publicity and promotion of local businesses, they focus on brand building, allowing them to occupy the market.
Some people have said before that the rice grown by southerners is basically eaten by their own family members, while the people in northern regions mainly eat pasta, and the rice they grow is generally not eaten by their own households. Most of the northern rice.
This reason, although a bit far-fetched, is one of them. Because these acquired rice will flow into the market after being packaged by the enterprise.
But what the editor wants to say is that there are many rice plants in the southern region, and the output of rice is large, so there is no advantage in terms of price. The price in the market is not high, that is, the profit margin is not large. Build a reason for being a well-known brand.
In today's focus on consumer quality, many people pay attention to brands when shopping. And the rice signboards in the north have already been released, and even become a household name, so more people will prefer these brands of rice when buying.
