                    [Summary] => SAN JOSE CITY — A Nueva Ecija farmer’s dream of shattering the world record in palay harvest went pfft here Tuesday afternoon after his yield fell short of the mark established in China.


For the second consecutive year, Fernando Gabuyo Jr.’s bid fell short when he only harvested 350.5 cavans of palay per hectare in his wind-swept farm in Barangay Tondo here, failing to eclipse the record 370 cavans which China, where hybrid rice originated, posted last October.

From a hectare of his 19-hectare farm in Barangay Tondod here, multi-awarded farmer Fernando Gabuyo Jr., 56, harvested 332.5 cavans, hitherto the highest palay yield recorded in the country.

The world record for the highest yield is more than 17 tons/hectare achieved in China, which developed the first hybrid rice.
