Cameroon’s national cotton development company Sodecoton will announce the final results of its transgenic cotton trials by this year end. Started in a controlled environment in 2012 and in the open in 2015, the trials will soon conclude. In 2015, Sodecoton had launched public consultations in the far north to seek producers’ views on transgenic cotton.
Sodecoton targets 260,000 tonnes of cotton in 2018 and plans to raise this ten-fold in the coming years through the introduction of transgenic varieties, according to a leading business daily in the country. (DS)
