“Bangladesh has successfully developed genetically modified vegetables, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) brinjale (eggplant). Consumers overwhelmingly agree to eat this genetically modified vegetable, as it does not test positive for the presence of the gene. Bt after cooking. Farmers are also interested in the production of Bt eggplants, as it reduces production costs and increases yield. As a result, the demand and supply of seeds increases without the sellers This success also encourages scientists and policy makers to become more involved in the development of genetically modified varieties, including a salt tolerant rice variety, a blast resistant wheat variety and a wheat variety. late blight resistant potato.

"Eggplant:
The first GM crop (i.e., eggplant) in Bangladesh is advancing towards mass commercial production. The biotechnology and seed technology divisions of the BARI (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, public institute) produce breeder seed. The Bangladesh Seed Development Corporation (BADC) produces basic and certified seeds for sale to farmers. For the current year (AF) 2019-2020 (July-June), BARI has a stock of breeder seeds totaling 1513 kilograms (kg) of seeds and BADC has a stock totaling 179 kg of basic seeds . The seeds produced by BARI will be distributed to farmers who participate in field demonstrations controlled by the Department of Agricultural Extension at the Ministry of Agriculture.
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, BADC commercially sells 179 kg of Bt Begun 2 and Bt Begun 4 to 8 seed distributors. The BADC sells basic seed to farmers through local seed distributors (registered authorized sellers), and the seed price is around $ 500 (USD) per kilogram (kg).
It is estimated that 20 farmers produce Bt brinjal on their farms. In the area covered, an estimated 602% of the 4,56 acres of brinjal are grown with Bt brinjal. "
Nothing according to Gadgetdebois. He is no worse blind than one who does not want to see.
