GM crops in Argentina
While the debate over the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops rages on in much of Africa, Asia and Europe, Argentina could not imagine a world without them. According to a recent study financed by the Argentine Council for Information and Development of Biotechnology (ArgenBio), since its introduction in 1996, GM technology has benefited Argentina to the tune of US$20 billion and the creation of one million extra jobs. This year Argentina will plant nearly 18 million hectares of GM crops, putting it second only to the United States in terms of production.
