Both of which were also brought to europe via ancient trade routes, things like rice didn't become an actual staple of european 'society' until like the 1400s, and HnH is basically set during the 'dark ages'.
In case you haven't noticed there's supposed to be a theme going on.

Before someone points at pumpkins, they were added back when Jorb and Loftar were basically just messing around with a prototype version they had built in few weeks. They only decided the current "vaguely Central European, mostly Iron Age" later and decided not to remove anything (just) because it conflicted with the setting.

They’ll probably make the Haven map match the real world and spawn us in the correct locations based on our countries. This concept is coming in W16.2!

Händler wrote:To be more respectful and inclusive towards the Asian community, there should be more welcoming content for Asians in the game, such as:

- Rice paddies which allow for new grain type: Rice. It fits perfectly into the game since it is very arsenic, so overconsumption should leadto arsenic poisoning. Whereas overconsumption of wheat should lead to glyphosate poisoning.
- Cool samurai armor and a comfy kimono should be added.
- a Katana sword, maybe the long actual Katana and then the Wakizashi, both of which real samurais always wore together, one as main weapon and the other as backup piece.
- Also this thing: It's a yokai kappa creature. Look at it, it's basically HnH manifested into a living creature.

Wouldn't rice can only be planted in shallow water?

Hence why we still have legacy up and running. For that proper PVP experience that pvpers want so much and quirky little game tweaks like this.
