A devastating rice disease, capable of wiping out up to 50% of rice crops, is threatening the staple food of 3.5 billion people worldwide. Experts warn that Southeast Asia, a major rice-producing region, is already experiencing severe agricultural disruptions, with farmers struggling to contain the outbreak. The disease spreads rapidly in humid conditions, and current measures have had limited success. 

Governments and international organizations are scrambling to provide support, but the potential for food shortages and economic fallout remains high. Agricultural scientists are urging urgent research into resistant rice varieties and improved pest management to prevent a global food crisis.🌾💥 “If this continues unchecked, we could see significant impacts on global rice supply, food prices, and livelihoods,” said one leading agronomist.
