Is golden rice being grown for human consumption?
No. While Golden Rice is an effective source of provitamin A [1] and therefore promises to save hundreds of thousands of children from unnecessary suffering the consequences of various diseases related to vitamin A deficiency (inluding death) [2], it is not yet grown commercially. For this the main reason given by one of the co-developers of Golden Rice are unjustified, costly and protracted regulatory requirements [3]. However, it is expected that over the coming years Golden Rice may finally be approved for cultivation in one or the other country in South or South-East Asia.
