Abstract/Description
The Nigerian authorities approved for general release the genetically engineered pod borer resistant cowpea in 2019. Support from the Program for Biosafety Systems included over a decade of institutional and individual capacity building on regulatory issues and more recently led to a credible and robust ex ante economic assessment of insect resistant cowpea.
