The problem is like with any "rice grain" country is that they employ 10000 instead of 5000. Same for the peasant ones. So it is essentially twice as hard to get them moving into urbanization. A key factor would be the Collectivized Agriculture law to move the POPs into Trade Union. But you need the Command Economy law for that, so it is a circular problem.

Best way is simply to build up rural and urban and keep it going. Remove peasants and get people into the cities. Again, it is just twice as hard in rice producing countries. Tho in the long term it is a benefit as you can produce around double and employ double with the same building slot. There is definitely some massive long term balance issue there as well.
