Contraintes/Défis

• Manque de connaissances liées à la biotechnologie agricole

The lack of knowledge associated with agricultural biotechnology poses significant challenges to market growth, particularly in developing countries. Many regions face insufficient research focus and understanding of specific biotech areas, leading to ineffective investments. This gap in knowledge prevents stakeholders from identifying crucial opportunities and hinders the development of necessary infrastructure to support agricultural innovations. As a result, the potential benefits of biotechnology, such as improved crop yields and resilience, remain largely untapped. Furthermore, limited awareness among farmers and consumers about biotechnology's advantages creates skepticism and resistance, further obstructing the market's expansion during the forecast period.   

• Increasing Effects of Agricultural Biotechnology

The increasing effects of agricultural biotechnology raise significant concerns regarding health and environmental safety. The uncertainty surrounding the long-term impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on human health complicates risk assessments. Notably, the use of antibiotic resistance genes in genetic engineering poses a potential threat, as these genes could diminish antibiotic effectiveness, jeopardizing public health. Furthermore, the ecological consequences of introducing GMOs into natural ecosystems remain largely unknown, raising fears of unintended effects on biodiversity. Such risks contribute to public skepticism and regulatory scrutiny, potentially hampering market growth for agricultural biotechnology as consumers and stakeholders call for more comprehensive evaluations and transparency regarding GMO safety.
