Socio-economic impacts of green biotechnology
1. Status of biotech crops
A. Global Level
1. Global adoption figures
A thorough overview of the global status of biotech (or GM) crops year by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech 2008).
The most updated information can be found in the executive summary status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2008‖ (James, short summary below. A new ISAAA report is expected in spring 1996 is generally seen as the starting date for the large-scale
biotech crops. Since then, the technology has spread rapidly industrialized and developing countries (James, 2008):
The number of countries electing to grow biotech crops has increased steadily from 6 in 1996, the first year of commercialization, to 18 in 2003 and 25 countries in 2008 on 125 million ha, comprising 15 developing countries and 10 industrial countries.
For 2008, the top eight countries growing more than 1 million ha were, in decreasing order of hectarage: USA (62.5 million hectares), Argentina (21.0), Brazil (15.8), India (7.6), Canada (7.6), China (3.8), Paraguay (2.7), and South Africa (1.8 million hectares).
Global hectarage of biotech crops continued its strong growth in 2008 for the thirteenth consecutive year – a 9.4%, or 10.7 million hectare increase, reaching 125 million hectares.
The 74-fold hectare increase since 1996 makes biotech crops the fastest adopted crop technology.
In 2008, GM crops were being grown on 9% of the global arable land.
In 2008, 13.3 million farmers cultivated biotech crops in 25 countries. Notably, 90%, or 12.3 million were small and resource-poor farmers in developing countries. Most were Bt cotton farmers: 7.1 million in China (Bt cotton), 5.0 million in India (Bt cotton), 0.2 million in the Philippines (biotech maize), South Africa (biotech cotton, maize and soybeans often grown by subsistence women farmers) and the other eight developing countries which grew biotech crops in 2008.
