Chen Chih-kuan, a researcher at the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute, says that Tainung 71 is a relatively new variety, and that only in the past two years have there been test plantings. It will require more time before they expand the acreage planted with it.
農試所稻作研究室副研究員陳治官說，台農七十一號是較新的品種，這兩年才開始示範栽培，需要一段時間栽植面積才能逐步擴大。
