Crops suitable for planting in Gansu

Gansu's landforms are complex and diverse, including mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys and other landforms. Gansu's climate is a mixture of subtropical monsoon climate, temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental arid climate and plateau mountain climate. The diverse climate can meet the temperature conditions for crops.

Many areas in Gansu Province mainly grow eight major crops, including wheat, corn, potatoes, sesame, rapeseed, medicinal materials, vegetables and fruits.

Spring crops are mainly distributed in Longxi and Hexi Corridor, while winter crops are mainly distributed in Longdong or Longnan.

Soybean, also known as soybean, is a special variety of coarse grains in Gansu Province. It is mainly produced in Wuwei and Qingyang areas of Gansu Province.

Because these two regions have relatively abundant heat, sufficient sunshine, moderate rainfall, and a relatively long frost-free period, the conditions are suitable for soybean growth.

Soybeans are rich in various substances that are beneficial to human body functions, such as protein, which helps to enhance the body's immune function.

Soybeans are also rich in lecithin, which can prevent the human body from developing various diseases such as fatty liver and arteriosclerosis. This is one of the reasons why Gansu Province grows soybeans in large quantities.
