05 Jul 2011Kenya has removed that last hurdle to the growing and sale of genetically modified crops, opening up the domestic market to cheaper varieties of staple foods such as maize and wheat that could help reduce supply and stabilise prices in the near term.
The genetically engineered crops, commonly known as GMOs, got a legal backing last Friday with the publication of a notice opening up the Kenyan market to genetically modified organisms beginning July 1, 2011. People seeking to produce or trade in genetically modified material must, however, get written consent from the National Safety Authority - the regulator.
