This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.

White rice is the world's most popular form of rice, but it goes through a million process that removes many nutrients. As a result, people who eat a poor diet based on white rice may not get enough vitamin A. Each year, an estimated 250,000 to half a million children go blind from vitamin A deficiency. The World Health Organization says half of them die within a year of losing their sight. Vitamin A deficiency is a problem especially in Africa and Southeast Asia. So scientists thought of an answer. They combined white rice with plant compounds that the body can change into vitamin A. The rice contains beta-carotene and other carotenoids. These plant carotenes give the rice a golden color. The scientists also thought of a plan to give away this golden rice for free to poor farmers. But the rice is genetically engineered. They say it cannot be made using traditional methods to breed plants. The scientists worked for ten years until 1990 to develop the technology to add genes to rice. Then it took 9 more years to get the genes they wanted into the seed. The first a few tests took place in 2004 at Louisiana State University in the United States. Golden rice is currently being tested in the Philippines. It is still not available for general use. Co-inventor Ingo Potrykus says rice with two added genes will be available in 2013. One gene comes from maize or corn and the other from a soil bacterium. Mr. Potrykus is retired from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. He blames the delays on two many rules about genetically modified crops. Opponents say such crops may cause environmental damage by breeding with conventional plants. Opponents also question the safety of bio-tech foods. Mr. Potrykus says golden rice has never been shown to be unsafe for the environment or people. Many agricultural organizations support the project. But there are also critics, including researchers for the environmental group Green Peace. Several months ago, they questioned whether golden rice could do much for vitamin A deficiency. They said releasing genetically modified rice in Asia could permanently change traditional rice varieties and wild ancestors of rice.

Wide rice is the world most popular form of rice, what it go through a million process, a great moves many new trace, As a result people who eat the poor diet based on the weight rice might not get enough Vitamer A, each year an estimated 250,000 to half a million children go blind from Vitamer A deficiency. The World Health Organization says half of them die within a year of closing their sight. Vitamer A deficiency is the problem especially in Africa and south states, so scientist bored the answer. They combine the right rice with plant compounds that body can change into the Vitamer A. The rice contains ** and other ***, this planting Caroing give the rice a golden caro. the Scientists also follow the plan to give a way this golden rice for free to all farmers. but the rice is genetically engineered, he say they can not be made useing tradiontional method to play plant,the scienstist worked for ten years until 1990 to develop the techolonogy to aid Jings to rice that it take nine more year to get the Jings they wanted into the seed, the first fail test take place in 2004 at *** university in the Unite States. Golden rice is currently been tested in the Filipine, it is still not available for general use. Caven Venter in *** says rice with two aid Jings would be available in 2013,One Jing comes from mades or core and the other from the soil of material. Mr. Park says retire from the Swiss Federal institute of techolonogy. he blames they delays on too many roads about genetically medal find crops. Pauls say such crops may cause environmental damaged by planting with conventional plant. Parls also question the safty of biotech food. Mr. Park say golden rice has never been choice to be unsafty for environment or people. Many agriculture or organizations support the project, but there are also creatives including researching for the environmental group, green piece. Serveal month ago the question whether golden rice could do much for Vitamer A deficiency. they said releasing genetically modefine rice engine could permanently change tranditional rice realitys and wild unseed rice.
