PH gov t approves GM golden rice production – Manila Bulletin

Published July 24, 2021, 9:00 AM The Philippines became the world’s first country Friday (July 23) to approve the commercial production of genetically modified (GM)  ”golden rice” that experts hope will combat childhood blindness and save lives in the developing world. A biosafety permit issued by government regulators paves the way for the rice enriched with the vitamin A-precursor beta-carotene to make it more nutritional to be grown by farmers across the country, its developers said. ”It’s a really significant step for our project because it means that we are past this regulatory phase and golden rice will be declared as safe as ordinary rice,” Russell Reinke of the Philippine-based International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) told AFP ahead of the announcement.
