Who might be harmed by pharma crop production?
The report identifies several groups that could suffer important economic losses as a result of pharma crop production, including farmers growing food versions of the pharma crop, grain exporters, and food processors and retailers. Losses, which would most likely occur if pharma crops contaminated food supplies, would be in the form of lower product value and higher costs associated with liability, additional testing, clearing out supplies of contaminated products, canceled sales contracts, and loss of markets to foreign competitors.
