GANDHINAGAR: The Gujarat government wants the price of Bt cotton seed to be regulated and put under its control despite opposition to it from the country's top seed producing companies.
Intervening in a debate in the state assembly, state agriculture minister Dilip Sanghani blamed the Centre for "supporting the seed companies", who are part of the National Seed Association of India (NSAI), the apex organization representing the Indian seed industry with more than 250 companies as its members.
