Agricultural Biotechnology - Global Market Trends

NEW YORK, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Agricultural Biotechnology - Global Market Trends

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164206/Agricultural-Biotechnology---Global-Market-Trends.html

Biotechnology is considered to be the most promising technology that can provide lasting solution to various problems ranging from food shortage to preservation of environmental resources. Much of the interest in biotechnology stems from rapid dissemination in North America and other exporting countries of genetically engineered (GE) crops such as soybeans, cotton, canola, and corn. In agricultural biotechnology, wide array of transgenic crops integrate genetically altered and enhanced attributes that assist plants to build resistance against particular pests and herbicides.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Agricultural Biotechnology: Global Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
