Abstract: Abstract The coexistence of genetically modified (GM) products with their conventional and organic counterparts has been one of the most scrutinized issues surrounding the introduction of products of agricultural biotechnology into the agri-food marketing system. Fears that the widespread adoption of GM products would drive their conventional (and, perhaps, organic) counterparts out of the market have been countered by arguments that their presence enhances the equilibrium product variety in the market (GMO Compass; EarthOpenSource). Central to the argument is, of course, the possibility of coexistence of GM, conventional, and organic products with the main focus having been on farm production systems and the prospect of coexistence of GM, conventional, and organic crops (Devos et al. 2009; Bertheau 2013).
