Origin Agritech achieved significant milestones, including obtaining a GMO safety certificate for their BBL2-2 transgenic maize and advancing gene editing technology. While general and administrative expenses rose to $5.1 million, reflecting investments in talent and systems, R&D spending also increased to $1.5 million.
