Union Commerce Ministry clarifies after European Commission’s charge.

The Centre has identified a Maharashtra-based exporter as the source of the broken rice flagged in Europe as contaminated with genetic modifications (GM) earlier this year, the Commerce Ministry said on Wednesday.

It added that the 500-tonne consignment was given a non-GMO certification by an independent agency before it was shipped to France.

While reiterating that GM rice is not grown commercially in India, the Ministry has asked genetic and rice experts to investigate, including the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI).

‘Share details’

IARI Director A.K. Singh told The Hindu that the European Commission must share details of specific genetic markers found in the consignment, so that it could be tracked to ascertain whether there were any linkages to any of the approved field trials of GM rice in India.
