The production of rice in Taiwan increased steadily from 1.4 million M.T. (in term of brown rice) in 1950 to 2.5 million M.T. in 1970. The 80 percent rise in production was totally due to the increase in the yield per unit area since the rice acreage had remained at a level between 770,000 and 790,000 ha during the 20-year period.
It is obvious that continued improvement of the techniques of cultivation has been the major cause of the rapid growth of rice production in Taiwan, and increased application of nutrients in the form of chemical fertilizers was, without doubt, one of the most important contributing factors.
