Abstract

This brief provides a synthesis of results from four surveys with consumers, producers and other stakeholders, focusing on genetically modified papaya. Investment from the Chinese public sector in biotechnology has increased rapidly since the 1990s. The commercialization of genetically modified (GM) products has expanded from non-food crops, like cotton, to fruits and food crops.
