Chinese hybrid rice yield hits record

[Viet]

14814kg per hectare。

Happier now that a western square measure is used？

988kg is the average yield of 3 lots，of which the highest is 1045kg per mu（sorry，15667kg per hectare）。

The hybrid rice were grew in paddies，and under conditions，that are normal in the Chinese rice-growing areas，but extreme weather（first drought then typhoon）exacted a bad impact on the harvest。

14.818 tons per hectare is a lot! Based on World Rice Statistics from FAO (2008), Vietnam´s averaged rice yield was 5.22 tons per hectare. what is your secret? hybrid rice alone cannot make such huge difference, can it?

Meh, Chinese people should eat less white rice anyways. That stuff isn't that great for you.

White rice is lacking in dietary fibres, and absorbs quicker leading your blood sugar level to shoot up faster. Therefore you get hungry faster compared to other whole grain rice. It's basically a nutritionally void filler food. The only thing good about it is that it doesn't cause allergies. Other than that, choose a healthier alternative whenever you can. I have been eating multigrain and brown rice for a few years now.

Now with that said, white rice is delicious.

What's the average rice yield in China according to that source? The commercial seed production of this experiment rice has not started. It's in development. The most planted rice breed in China is also his research result, but the yield is not so high. By the way, according to Wiki and 'Rice today', other Asian countries like Vietnam, Indonesia also plant hybrid rice.

The problem is that the grains obtained by hybrid rice cannot be used as seed again. So to promote the plant of high yield hybrid rice, you need to have a seed production industry first.
