dc.description.abstractThis pre-project study lays groundwork to enable agroeconomists in West Africa in policy decisions about Bt cotton in West Africa. Assessment of the social, economic, and environmental risks of genetically engineered cotton is important for the design of appropriate regulatory frameworks. The study is an exhaustive review of (published) applied economics literature about Bt cotton in developing economies. In the case of West and Central Africa, the region will lose about $10m annually if does not adopt while other countries do; whereas the region could gain $10m annually if Benin, Burkina Faso, Mail, Senegal and Togo adopt Bt cotton at a 30% level.en
