Record-high rice yields reported in Hainan

Six demonstration sites have been selected across the island for growing the high-yield, high-quality variety called Chaoyouqianhao, which was developed by Yuan's team.

Yields of the trial planting in Sanya has been rising continuously in the past several years. The spring rice grows well after withstanding the adverse effects of low temperature and reduced light in Hainan last winter and this spring, experts said. They are confident in gaining a good harvest with the paddy growing in the latter half of this year in Hainan.
