Three main Indian brinjal-producing States oppose Bt brinjal

Three states which account for 60 per cent of brinjal production in the country have clearly told the Centre that they were not keen on introducing the genetically-modified version (Bt brinjal) in their fields. ”After West Bengal and Bihar, it is now Orissa Agriculture Minister who has written me a letter that they were opposed to the Bt brinjal,” Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said at the Editors’ Conference on social sector issues, here today.
