The Birth of GM Mustard in India

India has an edible oil problem. We simply don't produce enough of it. Last year we spent a whopping 19 billion US dollars importing vegetable oil, a 71% leap. GM mustard could deliver better yields when compared to some of the best mustard varieties in India right now. Almost 30% higher. Experts also believe that a commercial introduction of genetically modified or GM mustard could double the total acreage under oil seed cultivation.
