Kenya has lifted the ban on genetically modified crops, ending a 10-year moratorium that has sharply divided scientists and policymakers on the safety of GMOs.

The Cabinet noted that it lifted the ban after consulting widely, talking to various experts and looking at technical reports on the adoption of biotechnology.
