Africa's Top Cotton Grower Looks to Bayer After Monsanto Ban


Burkina Faso has asked Bayer CropScience to help produce genetically modified cotton even as the government decided to stop planting a variety introduced by Monsanto Co., the world's largest seed company. Africa's biggest producer will only grow conventional cotton this season but doesn't rule out a return to genetically modified cotton, according to Wilfried Yameogo, managing director of state-controlled Sofitex, the largest buyer in the West African nation.
