How is ag bio tech impacting the agricultural sector and the seed industry in Brazil?
In Brazil GMO’s are illegal, even though there is an estimated U$1 billion worth of soybeans to be harvested that are GMO’s.

This is a political question and the new government apparently will authorize the harvest of this crop and prohibit future plantings.

In the vegetable business, it is prohibited to produce, import and sell GMO’s.
