You have to give it to India’s farmers. They have used American seed technology to beat the US at cotton production. In just four years since 2002, when genetically modified Bt cotton was introduced in India by the US multinational, Monsanto Holdings, production more than doubled to 21.80 million bales, while the US output increased from 17.20 million to 21.58 million bales.
