evidence: Jiangxi has a population of over 46.2 million people, making it the 13th most populous region in China. Over 99% of Jiangxi residents are ethnically Han, although small populations of Hakka, She, Miao, Yao and Hui also reside in the province. According to a 2009 British Medical Journal study, Jiangxi has one of the highest unbalanced gender ratios in all of China, with an estimated 140 boys for every 100 girls in the 1-4 age group. [...] Agriculture plays an important part in its economy, with rice being the province’s dominant crop. Jiangxi also grows cotton, rapeseed, soybeans, sesame seed, ramie, sugarcane, peanuts, tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, beans, white lotus, melon seeds, medicinal plants as well as fruits such as kumquats, citrus, watermelons, pears, and persimmons. As a significant portion of Jiangxi’s territory is covered with forest, Jiangxi is also one of southern China’s most important timber-harvesting regions; for instance, it has an estimated 1 billion bamboo plants. From its forest resources, Jiangxi produces a large array of timber by-products including tung oil, resin, turpentine, lampblack, and tea oil. Livestock raised in Jiangxi include water buffalo, pigs, chickens, and ducks. Its aquaculture industry specializes in rearing carp among an array of other fish. Wild fish are caught in Lake Poyang – the largest freshwater lake in China – and in Jiangxi’s rivers.
