Biotech-enhanced percentages for the U.S. based on USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates; Argentina and Brazilian percentages based on data from the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications
(ISAAA).
These three countries (the United States, Argentina and Brazil combined) produce more than 90 percent of the world's soybean exports. |
