How will farmers in Africa be able to get access to GMO seeds?
Once the sale of GMO seeds has been approved by a government in Africa, the problem of getting access to GMO seeds will not be so different from the problem of getting access to improved varieties of non-GMO seeds. Hybrid varieties of maize, for example, typically must be purchased anew every year if the desired hybrid trait isnt to be weakened. GMO hybrids also will most likely be purchased anew every year. On the other hand, openly pollinated GMO varieties can be replanted just as readily as non-GMO open pollinated varieties (OPVs).
