Description

In communities where rice is a staple, healthier rice varieties give additional nutrients to improve quality of life. The milestone approval of Golden Rice for commercial propagation in the Philippines demonstrates the potential of genetic innovation as a transformative pathway for nutrition, health, and food security.

Golden Rice is registered in the Philippines as NSIC 2022 Rc 682 GR2E (Malusog-1).

The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), through the Healthier Rice Program, supports DA-PhilRice in their deployment of the beta-carotene enriched Malusog Rice.
