Genetically modified maize raked in R3-billion over the past ten years in South Africa
Biotechnology consultancy group FoodNCropBio reports in its annual project studies that 69% of maize, 92% of cotton and over 80% of soya currently planted in South Africa are genetically modified. Insect resistance has resulted in profits of some R3-billion for genetically modified (GM) maize over the past ten years. FoodNCropBio consultant Dr Wynand van der Walt says that 125-million hectares of GM crops have been grown globally in 2008.
