Read to the end, it's because it's uneconomical.
- luckylion 6y agoI did read that, but it's conflicting with the previous paragraph ending with it was not possible to bring back our old varieties. I understood that to mean that they were not able to bring back the old varieties (at some point in the past) and now the government wants them to re-grow them, but they've moved on from rice-farming because it's not economical (because of lower yields).
- kjs3 6y agoI don't think any of that is conflicting; probably just a quirk of language. Agriculture requires infrastructure and space. If you've moved on from rice farming because it's not economical, it might not be possible to bring back old varieties because the infrastructure is gone, or the rice paddys have been covered with buildings, or some such.
