Developing Countries Embrace Benefits of Plant Biotechnology (20 Feb 2013)
Document type: News release
Today, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) released its annual global biotech crop acreage report, which found that worldwide adoption of plant biotechnology continued to grow, reaching over 170 million hectares planted with biotech crops in 28 countries. Biotech crops are scale-neutral, meaning all farmers can enjoy the economic and environmental benefits they bring to growers, consumers, and farms — this was evidenced in 2012 when developing country hectarage of biotech crops exceeded the area planted with biotech crops in developed countries. Two new developing countries grew biotech crops for the first time last year — Sudan and Cuba — which helped increase biotech plantings in developing countries by over nine million hectares in 2012 over 2011.

Statement - Conclusions of UNEP Global Chemicals Outlook Seriously Questioned (18 Sep 2012)
Document type: News release
CropLife International regrets that UNEP has seriously misrepresented the role and safety of crop protection products in their recently released report Global Chemicals Outlook. The analysis in the report is not robust. Due to the limited data available and the significant variability on reporting pesticide incidents in sub-Saharan Africa, assumptions or generalizations that the report makes must be seriously questioned. It is regrettable that the data has been reported in the Global Chemicals Outlook without a public reference and given such significant profile.
