8. “Another development in the R&D of GM crops is the emergence of more players. While currently it is private companies from the USA or Europe that develop most of the GM events and crops (which are generally first authorized and cultivated in North America), over the next years more GM crops will be supplied by private and public entities from Asia, in particular from China and India. ” SOURCE: Stein, A.J. and Rodríguez-Cerezo, E. 2009.

But rather than feeding its neighbours, South Africa's surplus maize may feed Chinese chickens, due to regional worries about genetically modified crops.
