Ghana: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Despite a protracted legal suit against the release into the environment and commercialization of GE products on the Ghanaian market, positive strides have been notched. A thirteen-member board of directors of the National Biosafety Authority was inaugurated in February 2015, and a substantive Chief Executive Officer has now been appointed. Also, Cabinet approved the Regulations on Biosafety Law in April 2015. Reliable sources note that there is the possibility of getting either Bt Cowpea or GM cotton commercialized within the next three years.
