Brazilian farmers are adopting advanced genome editing technologies to develop new crops that benefit farmers and consumers. For instance, researchers at the University of Sao & Federal University of Vicosa in Brazil entered into a partnership with researchers from Germany and the U.S. They developed a new tomato crop from wild plants, using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology.

This new variety yields 10 times the number of fruits compared to the wild type. In addition, fruits are three times bigger in size. Furthermore, increasing usage of CRISPR genome editing technology for multiple research projects is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period. In Brazil, CRISPR technology is used for several applications, ranging from drug screening to functional genomics.
