There is an "artificial oasis" in the tropical desert, and China's r grows!
Ther&D Center team, led by Yuan Longping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recently conducted field tests on r that was experimentally planted in the tropical desert of Dubai . The maximum per mu production exceeded 500 kilograms. This is the first time that the world has successfully experimented with r cultivation in tropical deserts, adding "China's contribution" to improving the self-sufficiency of grain in desert areas, safeguarding global food security, and improving the ecological environment in desert regions.
