"Surveyed experts estimated it could take 5 years and cost US$10.5M to develop and bring a genome-edited crop to market if regulated as a conventional crop, but up to 14 years and US$24.5M if regulated as a GM event. ...
...Some genome-edited crops can take a little as a few days to be designed at a cost of €10. If not regulated as a transgenic variety, these genome-edited cultivars could be ...
... markedly more cost-effective owing to the absence of further technological and regulatory testing for foreign genetic material in the plant genome." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
Pretty clear that organic lobby groups are very afraid that their varieties might lose market share if these crops were grown.
