Now even jbog has to admit that commercial product will be in the ground during the 2013-2014 growing season in Brazil, which is just getting underway. Commercialization in Argentina is slated for the 2014-2015 season.)

As noted in #msg-88839612, Intacta is MON’s first-ever product developed specifically for a non-US country, and it will surely become one of MON’s major growth drivers during the next 5-10 years.
