Description of Our Community: Chihshang Rurual Township is located at the north point of Taitung longitudinal valley. It is located at the parting of Hsiukuluan River and Peinan. We got abundant water resources with even terrain. The total area of Chihshang Township is 80 square kilometers, which is the widest terrain at Taitung longitudinal valley. Becasue of its special natural environment and climate, rice grown at Chihshang is sweet and with fragrant smell.Moreover, during the Japanese occupation ara, "Chihshang rice" was called the "Emperor rice." "Chihshang" really deserves the name of "Home of rice" at Taitung County.
Project Description: "Rice" is our main food, but in fact we don't know it much. This study is to have a investigation on rice. We are going to present you the whole growing process of rice, from the seedling to husking and milling process. In the investigation, we found that not all brands of rice labled as "Chihshang Rice" do come from Chihshang. Thus we made a survey on the small package rice on the market, and wish to have a better understanding of the label. Besides the survey, becasue of the issue that the application for a patent on Chihshang rice has been truned down, we also made a questionnaire. We gave out the questionnaire to six different counties and cities. By this questionnaire we tried to figure out whether customers satisfy the rice on the market, and to find out why the application for a patent on Chishang rice was turned down. Also in the study we provide some tips for choosing good-quality rice for customers.
