Market Transformation
Better Cotton becomes a commodity
The volume licensed is based on the expected volume of seed Better Cotton to be harvested. For some regions, harvesting has not yet been completed. The
estimates presented here are based on the total area under cultivation per project multiplied by expected average yield. Yield may vary and it is possible that
final production figures will be different. These values are thus only indicative
