You guys are overlooking the REAL problem. GMO is controversial
amongst folks in Europe and the United States. I doubt that most
people in the third world even understand the significance of the
issue, they are just responding to whatever NGOs are telling them. I
doubt that the corporate advocates of GMO are going to provide them
with a balanced education on the issue either, so how can they can
engage in an informed decision?

if Monsanto cannot make its patent rights stick, as it obviously cannot in
India and South America, then it looks like the farmers in the third world
are smarter than the over fed activists in the first world who are getting
all indignant over them.
Back in the middle of June UK media was running stories of Indian farmers
breeding their own 'pirate' GM crops. Looks like they have made their
decision whether we like it or not
