Abstract	Similarly, Anderson et al (2007) evaluated the effect of Bt cotton introduction in Sub-Saharan Africa with or without WTO trade reform. They first assess the effects of removing subsidies and tariffs on cotton, then they simulate the introduction of GM cotton. The results show that SSA would gain largely from both changes. Net farmer income increases by 10% if they adopt Bt cotton and it is reduced by 7% if they do not adopt. Their results also show that it the use Bt cotton would be more beneficial if it precedes trade reform than the contrary.
