Question

Which region is often referred to as the ‘Orchard of the world’?

विकल्प

• Temperate grassland

• Tropical grassland

• Mediterranean region

• Taiga

Answer 1

Mediterranean region

Explanation:

The Mediterranean region is famous for intensive fruit cultivation, citrus (oranges, lemons, grapefruit), grapes, olives, figs, peaches, etc., and is therefore often called the “Orchard of the World.” This climate (mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers) and the long history of horticulture there make it especially suited to fruit production.
