KENYA: Cabinet gives nod to GMO cotton growing

A- A+

The Cabinet has approved the commercial farming of BT cotton hybrids following successful completion of field trials conducted over a period of five years.

The commercial farming of BT cotton is hoped to ensure farmers earn more from the crop through increased production.

It is also expected to boost the manufacturing pillar of the Big 4 Agenda where Kenya seeks to establish itself as a regional leader in textile and apparel production.
