Improving the cotton yields in India alone to the world average represents
more than the entire US cotton crop.


GM cotton does not produce any more cotton than the conventional
variety. Please stop telling untruths about "higher" yields on GM
varieties, thanks.

Technically true, if you mean their yield potential. However, yield
potential and realized yield are not the same. GM cotton is less likely
to suffer yield losses than non-GM cotton when bollworms are the
yield-limiting factor.
