Posted March 10,
2005: Bolivia will plant its first acres of genetically
modified soybeans according to an article in the Food
Chemical News. According to the report, Bolivia's Ministry
of Sustainable Development and Planning (MDSP) has approved
four 10-acre plots of "Roundup Ready" soybeans
in the state of Santa Cruz. Although commercial cultivation
of GM crops in Bolivia is illegal, and is likely to stay
that way, the government has received strong pressure
from farmers wishing to duplicate the export success of
neighboring GMO-pushers Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
