回香港之前與Greenpeace的光頭（施鵬翔）在北京吃晚飯，談起他們的湖北基因大米的調查，當地人把基因大米叫抗蟲米，是因當地的農業大學研製出來，但未經國家檢定；這些基因大米已經流到廣州．
農業部以德國鑑定在國內不被認可的理由，指綠色和平的指責未有足夠證據，但農業部自四月份跟進調查以來，一直未出報告．而湖北的農業大學繼續出售抗蟲米．
昨天綠色和平召開了記者會：
Greenpeace China claimed yesterday that the illegal sale of genetically
modified (GM) rice seed has spread to southern China.
The group now fears the rice, only supposed to be planted in closely
controlled scientific trials, could have spread across the country.
Ministry of Agriculture officials declined to comment on the situation
yesterday.
Greenpeace's food and agriculture campaign manager Sze Pang Cheung said
samples taken at a wholesale market in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province,
in April, included GM rice seed originating from Hubei Province, Central China.
German testing company Genescan analysed the samples. Tests revealed samples
sold by a wholesaler in the Haizhu market for food and edible oil were
genetically modified.
The wholesaler, who shifts about 60 tons of rice a day, also sells rice to
buyers from other Guangdong cities such as Zhongshan and Shunde, Sze said.

Based on its recent investigations, Greenpeace estimates that 23,500 to
29,000 kilograms of GM rice seed have been sold in Hubei this year.
If no steps are taken to combat the problem, GM rice crops could total 1,566
to 1,933 hectares, producing up to 14,500 tons of GM rice.
