"At Taiwan's latitudes, kiwifruit can only be cultivated in mountain areas between 1500 and 2000 meters above sea level. But farming in the high mountains is a major cause of soil erosion, so we are simply doing academic research--we can't recommend large-scale cultivation," says Professor Ni.
「台灣的緯度只能在海拔一千五百公呎到兩千公呎的山區栽培，但是高山農業對水土保持的影響太大，所以我們只做學術研究，不敢推廣栽種」，他說。
