GAIN Report on Agricultural Biotechnology in India
October 21, 2011| |
Agricultural Biotechnology Annual Report for India has just been released by the USDA FAS Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN). The 14-page document reports the advances in the commercialization of Bt cotton in the country which has now approved six events and more than 300 hybrids for commercialization. There has been no significant progress on Bt eggplant since the Ministry of Environment and Forest announced a moratorium on its approval in February 2010.
