In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced.
而近來卻生產(chǎn)了將近兩億噸稻谷。
These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China.
這一糧食產(chǎn)量的增加意味著中國僅僅7%的耕地養(yǎng)活了世界22%的人口。
Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests.
袁博士現(xiàn)在在印度、越南和其他欠發(fā)達(dá)國家船舶提高水稻產(chǎn)量的知識。

Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum.
