As Shown in figure four above Bacillus Thuringiensis causes a huge increase in the yield of crops it is applied to. (Gouse, 2012) It has an approximate thirty to forty percent increase on average for the potato plant. This would give a Nepalese farmer about nine hundred and seventy Nepalese rupees per acre. Another benefit of using Bacillus Thuringiensis is that unlike chemical pesticides the bio-insecticide will not harm any pollinators or helpful insects well killing the harmful beetles. Plus bio-insecticides do not harm the ecosystems unlike chemical pesticides the Nepalese farmers may use now.

 

Benefits of the export of Bacillus Thuringiensis var. San Diego to Canada 

 

            The export of Bacillus Thuringiensis var. San Diego out of Canada to Nepal will create jobs and increase the Canadian economy. There will be an increase of between 100-150 employees at Koppert Biological systems for research and production of Bacillus Thuringiensis. (Partners with nature, 2015)  Also there will be more jobs in the railway and shipping yards. The Canadian economy will be helped by the extra income coming from Nepal as well as the new jobs allowing people to buy objects for luxury not just necessity.
