Bt eggplant gets fresh opposition in the Philippines
The Network Opposed to Genetically Modified Organisms-Philippines and Negros local farmers and stakeholders said they are continuously circulating a sign-on petition in Negros Occidental urging the Department of Agriculture to stop the field testing of the resistant eggplants containing MAHYCO Bt. The petition asks the DA, through the Bureau of Plant Industry, to stop the multi-location trial of Bt eggplant intended for commercialization and to revoke all permits that have led to the proliferation of the GM crop.
