“…Currently, various food products comprised of GM ingredients or originating from GM crops are available worldwide [9]. However, GM foods still incite lively debate in the public domain [10], where conflicting opinions about the production, consumption, and marketing of such products are notable [11,12]. Compared to traditional foods, customers also have faith in GM food products that contain richer nutritional ingredients, can be bought at cheaper prices, and increase the existing variety of food products [13].…”

“…On the other hand, there are consumers who fear genetic technology that may change the natural physical characteristics of food products [11] and have unfavorable effects on both the environment and human body [13]. Secondly, consumer's outlooks in the direction of GM foods are a significant interpreter of their intensity of buying such products [10,14]. This intensity is also considered as the best forecaster of real buying behavior [15].…”

“…Isolation of stress resistance genes for transgenics/cisgenics [6,7,10] Stress resistance genes are isolated from a plant (which may not be a crop plant) and then it is transferred to a crop plant to make it stress resistant. Such transgenic (gene from different species) or cisgenic (gene from different strain of same species) plant may be developed having multiple stress resistance characteristics.…”

Due to the increasing size of the population, society faces several challenges for sustainable and adequate agricultural production, quality, distribution, and food safety in the strategic project portfolio selection (SPPS). The initial adaptation of strategic portfolio management of genetically modified (GM) Agro by-products (Ab-Ps) is a huge challenge in terms of processing the agro food product supply-chain practices in an environmentally nonthreatening way. As a solution to the challenges, the socio-economic characteristics for SPPS of GM food purchasing scenarios are studied. Evaluation and selection of the GM agro portfolio management are the dynamic issues due to physical and immaterial criteria involving a hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach, combining modified grey Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) and sensitivity analysis. Evaluation criteria are grouped into social, differential and beneficial clusters, and the modified DEMATEL procedure is used to derive the criteria weights. The MABAC method is applied to rank the strategic project portfolios according to the aggregated preferences of decision makers (DMs). The usefulness of the proposed research framework is validated with a case study. The GM by-products are found to be the best portfolio. Moreover, this framework can unify the policies of agro technological improvement, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and agro export promotion.

Innovations in the food industry exhibit a high market failure rate partially because of the phenomenon known as food technology neophobia, which refers to rejection of new or unfamiliar foods. The findings of this empirical study can facilitate the development of a clearer understanding of people's acceptance and usage of emerging technologies applied in the innovation of food products in Taiwan. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
