California has a massive agricultural industry since parts of it are some of the most fertile in the country and arguably the world.

California has a massive population as well. Roughly 40million people live in California. The usa 330million itself so California is over 10% of the population
This puts California at around 2/3rd the population of France (65ish million people) and half that of Germany (84ish million people )

And as others have stated already. It doesn’t rain as much.
