Default GENETICALLY MODIFIED COTTON USE ON THE RISE

GENETICALLY MODIFIED COTTON USE ON THE RISE
September 16, 2003
The Business Standard
Sangita Shah in Mumbai
Genetically engineered (GE) varieties of cotton was, according to this
story, being used by increasingly larger number of textile companies
worldwide and accounted for 34 per cent of world cotton exports in 2002-03.
There was no price difference between genetically engineered and
conventionally produced cotton fibre and textiles, the recently concluded
62nd plenary meeting of the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC)
reported.
A joint study by the secretariats of FAO and ICAC indicated that cotton¹s
share of retail fibre consumption rose or was steady during the past decade
in only a handful of countries, notably USA.
