In Teruvia, the quantity of rice produced per year is currently just large enough to satisfy domestic demand  Teruvia' s total rice acreage will not be expanded in the foreseeable future, nor will rice yields per acre increase appreciably  Teruvia' s population, however, will be increasing significantly for years to come
Clearly, ttherefore, Teruvia will soon have to begin importing rice
No pronounced trend of decreasing per capita demand for rice is imminent in Teruvia.
