China, with plenty of field and great demand for crops, has great potential in GM crops. Stimulated by safety certificates issuing of GM rice, key grain crop in Asia, GM technology and GM crops have attracted unprecedented attention of China and the world.

By interviewing researchers, governmental officers and citizens, CCM tries to find out whether GM rice will come into commercial production in the near future and what is the future for Chinese GM crops industry.

To figure out future trend of GM crops, especially GM rice in China, CCM will carry out deep investigation in this research in order to:
- Help clients understand Chinese GM crops industry
- Find out influencing factors for GM crops development
- Analyze competitive landscape of Chinese and multinational GM crops producers
- Assess market risks and identify business opportunities
- Find out GM crop prospect
