It was estimated to be $8.5 billion in the United States in 2013 [and] forecasts projected that figure to reach $13.5 billion by 2018” (pg 5).

Hopefully, part of this controversy can be settled if farms and food manufacturers put an end to using GMOs to ease the unfavorable reputation soy presents.
