How much does genetic engineering cost?

Answer 1

Genetically Modified products are generally cheaper, because they are capable of yielding more fruits/grains than Non-GM plants. For example, a genetically engineered rice plants can yield five times more grain heads than non-GM rice plants. That's a VAST difference. Also, some GM plants are capable of resisting against diseases and pests, weeds and consequently, farmers don't need to use pesticide nor herbicide. Pesticide and herbicide are very costly and are a financial burden on farmers, especially those in poor countries. So when they use GM crops, they can save extra cash by not having to purchase these chemical substances. With this extra cash, farmers could plant more crop plants than usual, which equals to a bigger harvest. And hence, supplies of crops increase, meaning the prices are inclined to reduce. (bigger supply + same demand = lower prices)

Answer 2

Genetic engineering can cost little to nothing all you have to do is take pollen from one plant and add it to another female of another species of plant.

It can cost up to a million dollars when you add up the costs of the material's lab, genetic guns, bacteria, radiation it all adds up. Also you cant genetically engineer without the production of the items such as a sheep and it will cost upwards of 30--100k. (citation or websites as to cost,? , please (anybody) Thank you.

Answer 3

Genetic engineering requires expertise and equipment that are expensive. However, if a product is worth it, companies are willing to invest whatever it takes. Genetic engineering is high tech business and is in no way cheap. Recombinant proteins that are essential like vaccines, insulin and growth hormone are expensive to produce but industries have been set up to produce these products since there is a global demand for these pharmaceutical products
