Monsanto’s plans for a GM-India on hold

According to a Monsanto official speaking on the condition of anonymity, the Indian government deferred on the decision leaving the future sales of the existing products and nine of the eleven new seeds up in the air. The Indian government has been under pressure to renounce the seeds from environmental groups and farmers who lost money planting Monsanto’s GM-cotton.
