Indeed, new breeds of Mexican wheat have gone to Turkey for the production of a huge new crop, to India, whose wheat harvest will leap 25% this year, and to Pakistan. If the winter rains are right, Pakistan will become self-sufficient in wheat next April for the first time. A new U.S. Department of Agriculture "doublecross" hybrid has made Kenya self-sufficient in corn. In Southeast Asia, the newly developed IR8 rice strain has been tested in Thailand, South Viet Nam, Indonesia, Burma and the Philippines...
