However, challenges such as climate change, limited agricultural land, and increasing population pressure have placed immense stress on traditional rice farming methods. To sustain the nation\u2019s food supply and improve farmers\u2019 incomes, the adoption of high-yielding, resilient rice varieties is critical. These varieties promise not only higher productivity but also the potential to withstand environmental stresses, ensuring food security in a changing climate.<\/span><\/p>\n
