In 2010, as this study is being published, there are
major developments in GE rice varieties occurring in
large seed companies, government-funded research
institutes and the International Rice Research Institute.
The development and testing of GE rice poses a risk
for Thailand’s rice merchandising system. If the US
experience with LL601 rice is indicative, any unintended or
accidental GE rice release within Thailand will have severe
economic consequences for Thai rice exporters.
