This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
White rice is the world's most popular form of rice. What 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 two hundred and fifty thousand to half a million children go blind from vitamin A deficiency. The World Health Organiazation says half of them die within a year of losing their sight. Vitamin A deficiency is a problem especially in Afica and Southeast Asia.
So, scientists __ of an answer. They conbind white rice with plain compounds that the body can change into vitamin A. The rice contains better carotene and other carotenoids. This plant colorings give the rice a golden color. The scientists also found of a plan to give away this golden rice for free to poor farmers. But the rice is genetically engineered. They say, it can not be made using traditional methods to preplants.
The scientists work for ten years until 1990 to develop the technology to add genes to rice. Benet took nine more years to get the genes they wanted into the seed.
The first few tests took place in 2004 at Louisiana State University in the United State. Golden rice is currently being tested in the Philippines. It is still not avalable for generable use.
Co-inventor Engo Patrica says rice with two added genes will be avalable in 2013. One gene comes from maize or corn and the other from a soil bacteria. Mr Patrica sees retired from the Suiz Federal Insititute of Technology. He blaims the delays of too 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 biotech foods.
Mr Patrica says golden rice has never been shown to be unsafe for the environment or people. Many agricultural organiazations support the project. But there are also critics, including researches for the environmental group Green Peas. Several months ago they questioned whether golden rice could do much for vitamin A difficiency. They said, releasing genetically modified rice in Acia could prominently change traditional rice priorties and wild ancestors of rice.

White rice is the world's most popular form of rice. What 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, almosts 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 south Eastation. So scientists foldt the answer. They combined the white rice with plant componts that the body can change into vitamin A. The rice contains whatiacong and other conatnnoise. This plant coloring gives 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 traditional methods to pree plants. The scientists work for 10 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 few tests took place in 2004 at L State University in the United States. Golden rice is currently been tested in the Philippines. It is not still available for general use.  Co-inventor I.P says rice with two added genes will be available in 2013. One gene comes from meise or corn and the other from a soilbackterian. Mr. P says retired from the swice federald institals of technology. He blames the delays on too many rules about genetically modified crops. Abonan say such crops may cause environmental damage by breading with conventional plants. Aformance also question the safety of biotech foods.


Mr. P says golden rice has never been choone unsafe to environment or people. Many agricultural organizations support the project. But they are also critics, including researchers for the environmental group going peace. Several months ago they question whether golden rice could do much for vitamin A deficiency. They said releasing dramaticly modified rice in Asia could perminatly change traditional rice veriaties and wild anthersters of rice.
