Rice exporters move on Genetically Engineered contamination.

Indian rice exporters move Supreme Court as new GE contamination.: "New Delhi, India — The All India Rice Exporters Association on Tuesday filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Supreme Court demanding a ban on GE crops in India, even as rice producers from Thailand and Vietnam, together the world's biggest exporters, announced their commitment to growing only GE-free rice. The two countries account for more than half of all the rice traded in the world market today and will put mounting pressure on other rice producing nations to commit to a GE-free rice supply.

This announcement from the biggest rice exporters across three nations comes in the wake of massive backlash against the GE industry following the recent scandals where illegal and unapproved GE rice varieties from the US and China contaminated the global rice supply."
