It's true that these newly introduced rice species/ sub-speciesproduce more rice. But, unlike the rice species we have beenusing in good old days, the natural immunity of the new rice specieces are very minimal. So, essentially they depend on fertilizers, veedicides, etc. (a lot of agro chemicals are required)Hariyata bool ballo wage thamai. Beheth tika welawata dunne naththnammarenawa.It is true that there is a financial benefit to and individual and the country by these new rice species. But, ultimately the populationend up in Chronic Kidney Disease. At the end of the day, you are spending more money for the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease, than what you saved from using newly introduced rice species. This is true at individuallevel and at the Country Level.</blockquote>
