Global Statusof Biotech Crops in 2004
• 2004 is the penultimate year of the first decade of the commercialization of genetically ... biotech crops on a global basis.
• Another way to provide a global perspective of the adoption of biotech crops is to express the
global adoption rates for the four principal biotech crops as ... biotech
in 2004, up from 25% in 2003. Thus, close to 30% of the aggregate area of the four crops,
