                    [Summary] => Asia’s rice industry is in crisis due to inadequate support, driving farmers into penury and spurring mass migration with potential adverse implications on regional security, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) said yesterday. 


"The Asian rice industry is in trouble," an IRRI statement quoted its director-general Ronald Cantrell as saying.

                    [Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna (AFP) — Biotech companies are muscling in on rice research as donor funds for studies on what is possibly the planet’s most important crop are dwindling, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) officials say.


The sequencing of the rice genome recently not only opened up the largely untapped commercial possibilities of the tiny cereal but also set the pace for potential intellectual property rights disputes between corporate entities and governments.

The Indian biotechnologist’s potted plants look nothing out of the ordinary. But as the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) has modified their genes, they are kept in a special greenhouse so they do not pollinate other plants.
