These applied sciences are being developed within global projects, involving public and personal organisations. It is anticipated that the resistant sorts will substantially decrease the crop losses in farmers’ fields. Model calculations exhibit that each improvements are possibly to deliver about extensive increase in financial surplus. The projected annual gross gain is 5.4 mUS$ (million US$) for virus resistance and 9.9 mUS$ for weevil resistance.
