CMT’s Agribiotech & Seed Markets meet on 12-13 Oct 2010 in Jakarta explores Positive Impact of Biotech Crops

Posted by admin on June 28, 2010

Biotech crops are delivering higher yields and better economic performance for farmers around the world. According to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA), global adoption of plant biotechnology increased by seven percent in 2009. 14 million farmers in 25 countries grew biotech crops, over 90 percent of them small farmers in developing countries.

Denise Dewar, Executive Director for Plant Biotechnology at CropLife International mention that “Farmers around the world are faced with changing climates and pest pressures which make it challenging to achieve food security for a growing population. The continued increase in biotech crop acreage is testament to the simple truth that farmers, when given the option, choose biotech crops because of the benefits they provide.”
