Abstract
Rice is life in the Asian region, and the struggle for retaining control over rice is the struggle for life itself. Little wonder that the recent cases of biopiracy of the region's famed Basmati and Jasmine rices have given rise to strong reactions from citizens and governments alike. This article discusses the implications of recent developments in relation to the US company RiceTec's patent claims on Basmati rice. It also draws attention to a more recent case of attempted biopiracy of Thailand's prized Jasmine rice.
