[Title] => Farmers bat for lower prices of genetically-modified corn seeds
[Summary] =>
Farmers planting the genetically-engineered Bt corn are asking seed producers to make planting materials more affordable.
A study by the Biotechnology Coalition of the Philippines (BCP) show that while more corn farmers are adopting Bt corn since its commercial release in 2002, majority still find planting materials very expensive.

[Title] => BPI okays 4th GMO corn variety for commercial production
[Summary] => The Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) recently approved for commercial production the fourth biotech corn variety known as "stacked-trait corn" or Mon810/NK developed by Monsanto Philippines.
According to the BPI, the stacked-train corn is a superior variety, since it is both resistant to insects while tolerant with herbicides.
Through genetic engineering, the company introduced the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene that enables the corn plant to resist the attacks of Asiatic corn borer, a dreaded insect pest that can cause as much as 80-percent yield reduction.

[Title] => More farmers switching to biotech crops
[Summary] => The production of geneti-cally modified corn or Bt corn will expand to 50,000 hectares this year as more farmers switch to planting biotech crops, the Interna-tional Service of the Acquisi-tion of Agri-Biotech Applica-tions (ISAAA) said.
ISAAA, a nonprofit orga-nization engaged in agricul-tural biotechnology research, said local farmers are begin-ning to realize the benefits of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn and expects farmers to widely plant the crop.
