                    [Title] => Bt corn gives farmers more income — study
                    [Summary] => Much more income can be derived from planting genetically modified crops, among them Bt corn, than common varieties, a new publication reported.


In one hectare, a farmer earned an average net income of P21,599, or almost double the P11,467 realized by another who planted non-Bt corn.

The profit advantage easily offset the high cost of seeds, which was P4,177 per bag, as against the P2,130 per bag of non-Bt corn seeds.
