                    [Title] => Asian rice industry  in crisis — researchers
                    [Summary] => Asia’s rice industry is in crisis due to inadequate support, driving farmers into penury and spurring mass migration with potential adverse implications on regional security, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) said yesterday. 


"The Asian rice industry is in trouble," an IRRI statement quoted its director-general Ronald Cantrell as saying.

The sequencing of the rice genome recently not only opened up the largely untapped commercial possibilities of the tiny cereal but also set the pace for potential intellectual property rights disputes between corporate entities and governments.
