Sen. Marcos urges DA to prop sagging agri sector further hit by SC ruling on Bt ‘Talong’

Senator Marcos has urged the Department of Agriculture to support the Philippine agriculture sector after a Supreme Court ruling affected Bt eggplant (talong). The sector was already described as struggling.

WHY IT MATTERS

A court ruling restricting Bt crops could slow adoption of pest-resistant varieties in the Philippines, with little effect on global feed grain prices.
