Abstract
Although
no
country
to
date
has
released
a
major
genetically
modified
(GM)
food
grain
crop
,
China
is on the
threshold
of
commercializing
GM
rice
. This
paper
studies
two
of the
four
GM
varieties
that are
now
in
farm-level
preproduction
trials
, the
last
step
before
commercialization
.
Farm
surveys
of
randomly
selected
farm
households
that are
cultivating
the
insect-resistant
GM
rice
varieties
,
without
the
aid
of
experimental
station
technicians
,
demonstrate
that
when
compared
with
households
cultivating
non-GM
rice
,
small
and
poor
farm
households
benefit
from
adopting
GM
rice
by
both
higher
crop
yields
and
reduced
use
of
pesticides
, which also
contribute
to
improved
health
.
