Overview

• The company announced commercial approval of a locally developed transgenic cotton event at the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, built on an INTA licensing partnership that began in 2018.
• Targets for 2030 include a 60% gain in fiber yield to about 1,085 kg/ha, a 30% expansion in planted area to roughly 780,000 hectares, and a doubling of national fiber output.
• Gensus projects tripled exports and more than US$1.7 billion in cotton-chain revenue by 2030, with reporting citing an estimated US$726 million in additional export value.
• Officials highlighted accelerated biotech approvals, with processes that once took about two years now resolved in as little as six months, and this cotton event cleared in roughly five months.
• The roadmap combines traits for key pest resistance and lower gossypol in seed with better field management, while exporters like LDC upgrade logistics and INTA reports U.S. evaluations validating Argentine germplasm.
