Cultivation and repeated harvesting and sowing of the grains of wild grasses led to the domestication of wheat through selection of mutant
Nepalese sorghum it contains many resilient qualities. In addition, the cost of production in Asia has been said to have decreased (per ton) between the 1980s and 1990s compared to the cost in the 1970s. The cost and return ratio from improved varieties in Asia is around a 1:1.4 ratio. This is a good ratio for subsistent farmers.
