The other half in the up to $150 million dollar price tag of bring a GE crop to market (with the majority of that spent on regulatory approval). Not sure what the answer to that part is. On the other hand, for companies genetically engineering bacteria to create complex and valuable substances in bio-reactors (which avoids most of the approvals required for growing a food crop outside of controlled environments), projects like BIOFAB must be awesome.
