The GM soya variety MON-89788-1, also known as 'Roundup Ready 2 Yield' has
already been approved in nine countries including China and the US. However,

The soybean
is manufactured by US biotech giant Monsanto, who claim the bean gives increased
yields which would help farmers keep up with global demand.
