Farmers in Argentina generate US$9.0 billion in gross revenues from sales of genetically modified (GMO) crops to processors and consumers each year. They have rapidly adopted GMO crops such as soybeans, cotton and corn since their introduction in 1996. The use of GMO varieties reached 98 percent of soybeans planted in 2004 and tripled the use minimum-tillage practices, greatly reducing soil erosion and greenhouse gas emissions. Between 1996-2004, farmers in Argentina boosted their net farm income by US$10.1 billion growing GMO crops.
