Kenya has become the fourth country in Africa to open up to genetically modified (GM) crops after approving laws to allow their production and importation. Business LIVE reports that East Africa’s leading economy follows South Africa, a leader in the continent on biotechnology and a major exporter of GM maize, as well as Egypt and Burkina Faso, but it faces growing resistance from lobbyists against the move. In a Legal Notice dated 22 June, acting Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Hellen Sambili said the laws would come into effect on 1 July, ending restrictions on GM maize and other various products in the country.
