EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1998, the first #GMO #Papaya was commercially released into Hawaii’s growing environment. Dr. Dennis Gonsalves and Dr. Richard Manshardt created this papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) resistant GMO fruit and were experimenting with its release in PRSV ridden #Puna, the main papaya growing area of #Hawaii. While the GMO Papaya is resistant to papaya ringspot virus, it brought many more problems than it solved. The GMO Papaya has closed lucrative export and #organic markets and always has a low price point. This technology has come with too many strings attached and Hawaii has lost almost half of its papaya farmers. https://scribd/doc/52360029/Hawaiian-Papaya-GMO-Contaminated
