Farmers eager to grow new cotton variety

Ugandan parliamentarians who were in Mwea on a mission to accustom themselves with the BT cotton technology.

The government has been urged to hasten the commercialization of the BT cotton which is superior to the convectional cotton grown in the country in terms of yield and ability to withstand attacks from pests.

A delegation of Ugandan parliamentarians who were in Mwea to accustom themselves with the BT technology now wants the government to speed up the decision to resolve the matter so that the advantages of the BT cotton can not only be enjoyed by Kenya farmers but the entire East African Community.
