Over the centuries, the soil has received tons of fertile alluvions carried over by rivers, and it favors good yields.
Populations more easily settled in low lands and cities are usually there. It means that manpower farming is available and markets are nearby, reducing logistic issues.
On the contrary, high lands in many areas do not receive water for several weeks or months. When it rains, the water does not stay and tends to take good soil away with it. Irrigation is difficult because the soil is steep.
