Thailand reaffirms that all rice is GM-free
Thai authorities have assured importing countries that Thai rice is free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), in light of growing concerns, especially in Europe.
The European Union (EU), has urged Thai exporters to obtain GMO-free certification, at 1,800 baht per test, to improve confidence among European consumers, who are especially sensitive about genetically modified foods.
Concern rose earlier this year when genetically modified grains were detected in some rice shipped from the United States and China to the EU.
