BEIJING — Yuan Longping,
known as the “Father of Hybrid
Rice”, said on Wednesday that
he hopes that in 2020, when he
turns 90, he can create a new version of hybrid rice yielding about 15 tons of rice per hectare(公顷).
Yuan, a renowned agriculture scientist who celebrated his 80th birthday on Monday, said he now has two wishes, both concerning his life’s work - the hybrid rice that he originally created in the 1970s.
“First, I wish that by 2012, my team and I could complete the Phase-Ⅲ super hybrid rice, which is expected to yield 13. 5 tons of rice per hectare. I hope I can live another 10 years until 2020. By then the yield will be improved to 15 tons per hectare, ” Yuan said at the 21st Century Forum in Beijing.
“Second, I wish that hybrid rice will be spread all around the world to solve the problems of hunger and ensure food security worldwide, ” he said.
Hybrid rice is produced by crossbreeding different varieties of rice. The second-generation super hybrid, which was released commercially in 2006, can yield 9 tons of rice per hectare on average.
Hybrid rice in China has greatly helped increase rice output and allowed 20 percent of the world’s population to feed itself with just 7 percent of world’s farmland, Yuan said at the forum.
“We are fully prepared and willing to help other countries with food issues by growing hybrid rice, ” Yuan said.
“The average yield of hybrid rice is at least 20 percent more than that of inbred rice, feeding 70 million more Chinese people annually, ” Yuan said.

BEIJING—Yuan Longping,
known as the “Father of Hybrid
Rice”, said on Wednesday that
he hopes that in 2020, when he
turns 90, he can create a new version of hybrid rice yielding
about 15 tons of rice per hectare(公顷).
Yuan, a renowned agriculture scientist who celebrated his 80th birthday on Monday, said he now has two wishes, both concerning his life’s work-the hybrid rice that he originally created in the 1970s.
“First, I wish that by 2012, my team and I could complete the Phase-Ⅲ super hybrid rice, which is expected to yield 13. 5 tons of rice per hectare. I hope I can live another 10 years until 2020. By then the yield will be improved to 15 tons per hectare, ” Yuan said at the 21st Century Forum in Beijing.
“Second, I wish that hybrid rice will be spread all around the world to solve the problems of hunger and ensure food security worldwide, ” he said.
Hybrid rice is produced by crossbreeding different varieties of rice. The second-generation super hybrid, which was released commercially in 2006, can yield 9 tons of rice per hectare on average.
Hybrid rice in China has greatly helped increase rice output and allowed 20 percent of the world’s population to feed itself with just 7 percent of world’s farmland, Yuan said at the forum.
“We are fully prepared and willing to help other countries with food issues by growing hybrid rice, ” Yuan said.
“The average yield of hybrid rice is at least 20 percent more than that of inbred rice, feeding 70 million more Chinese people annually, ” Yuan said.
