such question was also come out in front of chinese before.while china has Yuan longping,who was called "Father of Hybrid Rice". Professor Yuan was a pioneer in hybrid rice research and made remarkable achievements in this area, first developing hybrid rice in the world. The achievements of Yuan Longping greatly solved the food shortage, and provided as a solution the worldwide starvation. It is regarded as the fifth invention after China's Four Major Inventions, and is acclaimed as the Second Green Revolution. He was the first person to develop indica hybrid rice. The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974 and 1975, and then extended to other areas. China became the first country that is capable of producing hybrid rice. Yuan Longping is the first scientist who successfully altered the self-pollinating characteristic of rice and realized large-scale farming of hybrid rice. india is similar to china to some extent,thus i hope sincerely you can get your own way.good luck

China is not out of this world and if I am not wrong then it's the whole world that's going through food cricis...and again if I am not wrong then a major factor responsible for this is China's apetite. Correct me if I am wrong.

hi it's nothing to do with china.i don't know why you have such mistakw.the price of rice keeps stable in china because we have a rice production base in northeast which offers sufficient foodstuff for the whole china.we also decrease the export of rice to feed ourselves first. do you know why the world is suffering the food crisis? that's due to the climate change and fuel shortages.you can visit this site for detail:http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/nov/03/food.climatechange
