Answer 2

Though not officially mentioned anywhere, Vietnam is considered as the rice bowl of the world. 
The reason can be the cultivation, production and cultural history of rice. It is the staple food for half of the world. It is said to be first cultivated in China. People mainly depended on agriculture for their living and rice is a labor intensive crop, and needs a lot of water. Asia has always been leading producer of rice and many countries have religious and cultural sentiments attached to it. Thailand, India, Vietnam are the top exporters of rice. Thailand is mainly the largest exporter and India too close enough for basmati export. But its largest production in Mekong Delta and Red River Delta in Vietnam which provides for its national income makes it the rice bowl.
