Sudan Breaks World's Record of Genetically-modified Cotton

Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Abdul Halim Al Mutaafi, said a new day in the history of cotton production in Sudan has begun. Farmers have produced 15 Qintar (15000 pounds) an acre during the first harvesting stage, he said. This is the world's highest production of genetically-modified cotton, he added, and expected the production to shoot up from 100,000 to 400,000 bales.
