=== Agriculture ===
As the country continues to industrialize, the share of agriculture as a part of China's GDP has lowered to 11% in recent years. Of the enormous labor force in China, 27.7% work in agriculture.<ref name="cia.gov">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html|title=East Asia/Southeast Asia :: China — The World Factbook - Central Intelligence Agency|website=www.cia.gov|access-date=2018-11-21|archive-date=12 June 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612213511/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> China's primary agricultural import is wheat from Argentina, Australia, Canada, and France. They import about four to five million metric tons of wheat per year and they are able to buy the wheat for about $700 per ton, making wheat China's most important agricultural import. On the other hand, China's most important agricultural export is rice. China exports about 750,000 metric tons of rice per year for about $1200 per ton.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Why China Imports Wheat|journal=The China Quarterly|issue=45|pages=116–128|jstor = 651886|last1 = Mah|first1 = Feng-Hwa|year=1971|volume=45 |doi=10.1017/S0305741000010456 |s2cid=153871544 }}</ref> Other significant agricultural exports from China are potatoes, corn, tobacco, peanuts, tea, apples, cotton, pork, mutton, eggs, fish, and shrimp.<ref name="cia.gov"/>

According to the World Bank, as of 2015, China's total arable land was estimated at 119,000,000 hectares.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.ARBL.HA?end=2015&locations=CN&start=1961&view=chart|title=Arable land (hectares) {{!}} Data|website=data.worldbank.org|access-date=2018-11-02}}</ref>  Since 2005, arable land in China has been on the decline and the total arable land per citizen has reached .2 acres.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-feeding-china/|title=Farming the World: China's Epic Race to Avoid a Food Crisis|publisher=Bloomberg|date=22 May 2017|access-date=2022-09-29}}</ref> As a percentage, agricultural land makes up about 54.7% of land. The climate of the country is difficult to describe because it varies so much depending on the region of China. The southernmost parts of the country are almost tropical, while the northernmost part is subarctic.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html|title=East Asia/Southeast Asia :: China — The World Factbook - Central Intelligence Agency|website=www.cia.gov|access-date=2018-11-17|archive-date=12 June 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612213511/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{PRC provinces imagemap}}
