The weather in Qiongzhong in January

Because Hainan Province is the only province in China that can grow three crops a year, most people think that Hainan Province can grow vegetables on a large scale, but this is by no means the case. Hainan province needs to import a large number of vegetables from the island every year to supply local residents and tourists, and its own vegetables can't meet the demand on the island. There are two main reasons why Hainan needs to import a large number of vegetables, one is the cultivated land area in Hainan, and the other is the climate characteristics in Hainan, both of which seriously limit the vegetable cultivation in Hainan.

Although Hainan Province is not a volcanic island, it belongs to a mainland island, but its shape and characteristics are similar to those of a volcanic island. It is high in the middle and low around, and consists of mountains, hills, terraces and plains. The highest mountain, Wuzhishan, is 1867.438+0 meters above sea level, with Wuzhishan as the center, surrounded by hills, terraces and terraces in turn, and the outermost.

Hainan's climate, planting vegetables is not the higher the temperature, the better, nor the more rain, like Shouguang, a famous vegetable base in China, the annual rainfall is not high. In fact, the requirements of vegetables for the growth climate are the same as those of human beings, and they pay attention to a "fitness". The summer temperature in Hainan province is relatively high, so it is good that vegetables can survive in high temperature environment, and it is impossible to grow in a large area. Moreover, typhoons often cross Hainan in summer, causing stormy weather, and the vegetables planted may also be destroyed by wind disasters and floods. After all, Hainan's cultivated land is located on the coastal edge.

In fact, the island provinces in the world grow almost all kinds of vegetables, while Hainan Island, Taiwan Province Island and the Japanese Island next door do not grow much vegetables, which is also related to the island culture of the sea. As the old saying goes, "relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea", as an island province, Hainan's fishery is very developed. Taking seafood as a delicacy will naturally ignore the dry land cultivation culture, and Hainan Island has been far away from the land for a long time, so it is inconvenient to communicate with the land in ancient times, so it has not formed a profound vegetable cultivation culture. To sum up, it is easy to understand that vegetables are imported from outside the island.

Finally, Hainan is also a major tourist and holiday province. There are many people who travel to Hainan all the year round, playing in the sea in summer and avoiding the cold in winter, which has given birth to the development of Hainan hotel industry, and restaurants will inevitably set foot in hotels. Although the seafood feast in Hainan is rich, the complete menu is the minimum operating basis of the hotel, so it is essential to import a large number of vegetables from outside the island.
