Biotechnology helps increase agricultural productivity

According to Dr. Leonardo Gonzales from the Philippines, through cultivating genetically modified maize, many farmers get a higher income and use less labour than growing normal maize varieties.
The role of biotechnology in reducing exhaust emissions and adapting to climate change was the main focus of a workshop held in Ho Chi Minh City on August 19.
Co-organised by the US Embassy in Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Centre, the event saw a crowd of Vietnamese and foreign experts and scientists operating in the field.
Participants focused their analysis on great potential of genetically modified crops, especially maize, and their role in trimming greenhouse gases and increasing economic efficiency in Vietnam.
US Consul General to Ho Chi Minh City Rena Bitter said that biotechnology not only helps increase agricultural productivity but also limit greenhouse gases from agricultural production activities and make countries adaptive to climate change.
He proposed that regional nations, including Vietnam, should increase investment in biotechnology research and application in agricultural production so as to create strategic genetically modified products by themselves.
