Abstract China is one of the largest rice producers in the world. Since 1949, the rice production in China has increased considerably. The strong monsoon and continental climate and the varied topography provide suitable conditions for rice growth. However, cold, drought, water logging injury and other meteorological disasters happen frequently, resulting in unstable yield. This paper briefly introduces natural conditions in China that are favourable for rice production. Attention is focused on the main meteorological disasters and the protective measures adopted in rice production. Finally, some profitable suggestions for China's future rice production are given.
