Recently, the Indonesian government has approved the first GM crop and will soon be promoted in Indonesia.

The transgenic sugarcane NXI-4T containing the betaine gene was developed by the state-owned sugar company PT Perkebunan Nusantara XI (PTPN XI). Under drought conditions, transgenic sugar cane yields 10-30% more sugar than traditional sugar cane. The developer's next step is to commercialize biotech crops to meet Indonesia's demand for sugar cane and by-products. Source: AgroPages (World Agrochemical Network)
