It quantifies labor productivity in rice production and argues that simple, low‐cost and labor‐extensive, but low‐yielding production technology allowed farmers in mainland South‐East Asia to achieve significantly higher levels of labor product‐ivity than in the more densely populated rice‐producing areas in South‐East Asia and Japan. This article explains why the countries of mainland South‐East Asia long dominated the international rice market. Given the economic predominance of agriculture, the development of rice production had a significant bearing on the economies in the region. Rice long dominated the agricultural economies of South‐East Asia. Golden rice is another way for these developing countries to further rely on the aid of developed nations.Productivity and Comparative Advantage in Rice Agriculture in South‐East Asia Since 1870 * Productivity and Comparative Advantage in Rice Agriculture in South‐East Asia Since 1870 * Critics argue that this money would be much better spent on education the people of these countries, implementing farming and medical programs, and giving them more resources to take care of themselves. There have been millions upon millions of dollars put into the development, research, and production of golden rice. It takes a whole lot of education and money to turn around malnutrition issues as big as some of these countries are enduring. Many researchers have come out to say that the minimal nutrient that golden rice does supply, is not nearly enough to combat the issues that it claims it can. However, the government has put so many different regulations onto this food source that the additional testing that has to be done has driven the price up quite a bit. Golden rice, at it’s core, is relatively cheap and easy to obtain. If a vitamin A deficiency is severe enough it can lead to blindness, fatigue, and even death. Normal rice lacks many of the vitamins needed for good health, including vitamin A. The biggest advantage that golden rice supplies is the simple fact that it provides much needed nutrition to people who would other wise not be able to obtain it. However, the true effects of consumption of golden rice have not been fully researched, along with most GMO food products, and have other problems surrounding it. The developers and supporters of golden rice believe that this is the answer to these countries problems. Many countries, such as Vietnam and India, rely very heavily on rice as part of their daily food, which was causing problems of malnutrition to be very apparent. Golden rice is rice that has been modified to contain many different nutrients and minerals that rice naturally doesn’t have. None more than the golden rice controversy, however. Genetically modified foods are a topic that is sweeping the entire world. Navajocodetalkersadmin on Aug8:28 pm in Pros and Cons
