2023 is very exciting in the Philippines! As a farmer, we are now allowed to plant Bt eggplant. This will give us better yields and more economic opportunity!
Last fall the Philippine government regulators finally approved the commercialization of Bt eggplant after years of evaluation. The Philippines is now the second country in the world, after Bangladesh, to allow farmers to use one of the world’s best agricultural science innovations to defeat a voracious pest that poses a constant threat to this valuable vegetable.
This is going to make a big difference to our farm’s production, to the farmers that will use this technology and to the consumers. It is a very good development for my mission farm in the Camotes Islands, where I grow crops as part of a project to alleviate poverty in this island and other places.
