Abstract
LL601 is a genetically modified rice variety and unapproved for commercial use. Its presence
was found in commercial shipments of U.S. rice in 2006. This article explores its impact
on prices and volume marketed for both the United States and Thailand, the major export
competitor. The results show a significantly adverse but short duration effect on the U.S. rice
market and little to no effect on the Thai rice market.
