Orissa won't allow genetically modified crop: minister
Orissa Thursday said it won't allow genetically modified crop, including Bt Brinjal, in the state.
"The Orissa government does not favour genetically modified crop in the state. As a matter of policy, we have not accepted the proposal," said Damodar Rout, agriculture minister.
"The interest of our farmers is more important than the interest of capitalists," he added.
The regulatory Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) has given environment clearance to Bt Brinjal and the environment ministry has to decide if Bt Brinjal will be allowed for commercial use.
