LAGOS: Nigeria enjoys a perfect ricegrowing climate over a vast area yet it is the
worlds second biggest importer of the
staple, often from countries in its warm, wet
tropical latitude like top exporter Thailand.
Its one of those baffling Nigerian
paradoxes, like the fact that it is Africas top
oil producer yet suffers frequent fuel
shortages; or that it is sitting on the worlds
eighth largest gas reserves but can only
produce a few hours of power a day.As with
the other bottlenecks holding back Africas
biggest economy, decades of bad
governance and corruption lie at the root of
Nigerias agricultural dysfunction.

The
GM
Contamination
Register
database has
been run by
Genewatch and
Greenpeace for
about ten years
and contains cases dating from 1997 to the
end of 2013 [1]. The authors of a new paper,
published in the International Journal of
Food Contamination, analysed the 400 or so
cases in the database by crop and country
[2].
GM rice accounts for about a third of
contamination cases, despite the fact there is
officially no GM rice grown anywhere in the
world. The authors suggest this high level
might be related to the routine testing of
imports of GM rice at national borders. The
highest rates of contamination are in
imported foodstuffs to Germany, but this is
probably because that country does a lot of
testing.
They also focused on cases of contamination
arising from unauthorised GM crops: those
without any authorisation for commercial
growing anywhere in the world. Nine cases
were discovered of GM contamination of
these unauthorised (non-commercialised)
GM crops that havent undergone any
environmental or food safety analysis.
The authors argue that once GM
contamination has happened, it can be
difficult to contain.
It is not only the GM contamination itself
(cross-pollination, mix-ups, etc.) that
contributes to the number of cases but also
the testing regime (both routine and
targeted). The paper concludes that for

Pakistan cannot afford to lose its foreign rice market,

subsidies from the
