It has a lot to do with the Asian diet, this includes India and Pakistan too.
Most people in those countries do not consume large amount of meat, massively reducing their need for large amount of agricultural land.
Soil fertility is just part of the equation, does not explain Egypt, Pakistan and a multitude of other countries.
- pavanky 7y agoFYI India has more arable land than USA at the moment: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.ARBL.HA?end=2016&locations=IN-US-CN&most_recent_value_desc=true&start=1961&view=chart https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.ARBL.HA?end=2016...
- firethief 7y agoThat says 6x less per person
- MiroF 7y agoyes.. and also three times the people
- pavanky 7y agoIt isnt a competition. The point I was trying to make is that India not only has highly fertile land, but also a lot of it to theoretically feed its people without relying on others. As you said, US has only a 3rd of the population. This is probably the reason they are the largest exporters of food in the world.
