The information and analysis presented in this report highlights that there are a number of GM rice traits that are either ready for or close to readiness for commercial use. These offer some potentially substantial benefits ranging from the provision of nutritionally enhanced rice for dietary deficient populations in developing countries, to the provision of higher yielding, lower cost rice production. In addition, the technology has the potential to make important contributions to enhanced food security in developing economies.
