Ethiopia: Ethiopia Approves Biotech Cotton

In May, the Ethiopian Ministry of Environment approved Bt cotton – the country’s first biotech crop – for cultivation.
With increased processing capacity and better weather conditions expected to prevail, sugar production is forecast to climb to 370,000 metric tons in MY16/17 (May-Apr).
After a small decline in MY15/16 (Aug-Jul) because of the drought, cotton production is forecast to more than recover, reaching 207,000 bales (45,000 metric tons) in MY16/17.
