Burkina Faso delays production of genetically modified cotton
Burkina Faso has postponed until 2009 the start of genetically modified cotton production, a controversial process that the country’s authorities say is necessary to compete. ”We cannot produce the cotton this year on a large-scale, but certainly by 2009, after we have increased the number of transgenic seeds sufficient in quality and quantity in 2007 and 2008,” said Georges Yameogo, an official with Sofitex, Burkina’s textile and fibre company.
