global warming creats a new kind of rice

Recently, I have learned a new kind of rice that was developed by a laboratory in Fukuoka prefecture. The rice's name is "geknki-tsukushi", and its feature is to resist hot summer and to produce good amount of rice with good taste.

These days, I often feel the influence of climate change. But, I am impressed with the effort of engineers in laboratory to develop the new rice that adjusts to climate change.

I have already eaten the rice, it is very good, I think.

I try to translate this Japanese sentence on the labeling information into English.

「『元気つくし』は、温暖化に強く、おいしいお米です。近年、温暖化の影響で８～９月の気温が高い状態が続いています。この影響で、米粒充実不足により、食味や品質が低下する傾向が見られます。そこで、福岡県農業総合試験場では、平成10年より新品種の開発に取り組み、その努力の結果、暑さに強くおいしい新品種が誕生しました。」

""geniki-tuskushis" is rice that is strong against global warming and tastes very good. In recent years, it has continued that the temperature in every August and September is higher than usual years under global warming. We have recognized a tendency that the shortage of rice piece makes rice's quality and taste. So, the agricultural laboratory in Fukuoka prefecture 【in my direct translation】（福岡県農業総合試験場） had started to develop a new kind of rice since 1998（平成20年）, as the result of its efforts, the new rice that is strong against hot weather and good taste was born."
