As paddy fields were developed rapidly at the end of the Twentieth Century, Northeast China, especially Heilongjiang Province, became the main production area of japonica rice. The paddy fields, which were mainly developed by State Farms, have formed a productive base centering on the Sanjiang Plain. Beidahuang Group, which has become a huge group corporation now, provides a tremendous amount of japonica rice. It was set up on the basis of Heilongjiang Agriculture Company Limited (HACL), which is an aggregate of 16 excellent farms gathered by Heilongjiang Bureau of State Farms for japonica rice production, processing and marketing in 2002. Beidahuang Group has established a japonica rice production and processing system with the 16 farms as its foundation. Part of the rice produced by the company is sold to major cities in China by the Department of Domestic Trade, which has led to the formation of a large sales network. Another part is exported to foreign countries, including Japan, via China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO). Regarding the sale of paddies, it is conducted through the companyﾕs Department of Cereal Trade. A certain portion is purchased by the government for state reserves and the rest is sold to wholesalers as self-run provisions.Beidahuang Group possesses an enormous amount of cultivated land for japonica rice. Despite several difficulties in sales, it is undeniable that the company has already occupied an important place in the domestic market for japonica rice.
