Unlike rice in Taiwan with double paddy crops for every year, “Dream Beauty” in Japan is less heat-tolerant. Thus, only a single paddy crop for every year is produced in Taiwan (first term). “Houbi Town Rice-Dream Beauty Production and Sales Guidance” by assistant researcher Jiang Ru-Guo of Tainan Agricultural Research & Extension Station, COA, and “Dream Beauty Cultivation Record” published in Japan Grain Monthly Publication [provided by Lian-Fa and explained by Chairman Chen Shui Sheng〕are described below:
