Brazil, the second largest grower of biotech crops in 2013, is now looking
at growing biotech eucalyptus trees. Biotech eucalyptus trees, developed by
FuturaGene, produces 20 percent more wood than conventional trees and is
ready for harvest in 5.5 years instead of 7. At present, Brazilian
regulators are evaluating the trees for commercial release and a decision is
expected to come out by the end of the year.
