When it comes to a big agricultural province, many people will say it's Henan province, while others say it's Heilongjiang province. But overall, Shandong Province is the largest agricultural province in China. The reason for this is the following：

First of all, agriculture is not just food, but includes agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and by-products. Although Henan province is a big grain-producing province, its fishery resources are limited because it is not near the sea. Heilongjiang has a vast territory, but because of the cold, the grain can only be cooked once a year. Grain crops are harvested twice a year in northern China and three times a year in the Yangtze River valley. Therefore, Heilongjiang is not dominant in agriculture.

But Shandong plain is vast and suitable for developing agriculture. At the same time, the terrain is flat and suitable for mechanized operation. Plus, you can harvest grain twice a year, which can make up for the shortage of land. Besides delicious food, Shandong vegetables and fruits are also famous. Shouguang is known as the "hometown of vegetables", and the apples and pears in Shandong 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 Russia's vegetables and fruits come from Shandong.

According to the news released by the Provincial Department of Commerce, agricultural products have become the largest category of imported goods in Shandong. According to the statistics of Jinan Customs, the total import and export value of agricultural products in Shandong is 93.49 billion yuan, accounting for 23.8% of the total import and export value of agricultural products in China.

In addition to the primary industry, food processing industry, Shandong also performed well. And Shandong also has fishery resources. Shandong has a long coastline and many high-quality fishing grounds. Shandong's animal husbandry is also in the forefront of the country. So in all respects, Shandong is a big agricultural province.
