China will increase the consumption of genetically modified food after entering WTO

Introduction: as the world's second largest user of biotechnology, China is second only to the United States Will be the Asia leader in this area After China's accession to the WTO, it is expected that the consumption of genetically modified food will increase significantly China needs to improve productivity and quality in agricultural production due to the flood of food imports China has become the first country in Asia to produce genetically modified cotton for commercial use Huang Jikun, director of the China Agricultural Policy Center, claims that there are more than 2000 experts engaged in bioengineering technology in China and more than 100000 experts engaged in research on improving agricultural per unit yield Huge investment from the government for research Consumers in western countries are skeptical of genetically modified food, mainly in the field of agriculture, but the Chinese people think that agricultural products marked with biotechnology are relatively advanced and ideal As the largest rice producing province in China, Hunan Province is engaged in two key genetic engineering research technologies The first is the birth of a new generation of hybrid rice, which was studied by agricultural scientist Yuan Longping Hybrid rice does not use transgenic technology The yield per unit area of hybrid rice is 25% higher than that of conventional rice Now, the rice is planted on 31 million hectares of land in China China hopes to produce a new generation of super rice, which can overcome the quality defects of hybrid rice At present, compared with Thai rice and northern rice, hybrid rice is lack of texture and flavor Pang Daomu, vice governor of Hunan Province, said: "Yuan Longping is engaged in the research of super hybrid rice The yield of super rice will reach 700-800 kg / mu (1 / 5 ha), and the taste will be better " This is nearly double the yield of 450 kg / mu of conventional hybrid rice The second project of transgenic research in Hunan Province is transgenic cod, which will be bigger and grow faster than ordinary cod Hunan Province has become one of the most promising provinces in biotechnology Hunan is a strong agricultural province in China, but its quality is usually low It is expected that Hunan will not compete with the world after its accession to the WTO Super rice is formed by adding corn genes to hybrid rice Although transgenic cotton has been popularized in China, China is still very cautious about the production of genetically modified food China, for example, has stopped farmers from producing genetically modified tobacco However, many trade barriers will be eliminated after China's accession to the WTO And biotech companies are looking to enter the Chinese market if official policies are right, production costs are cheap and the domestic market is expected to be huge In order to strengthen management, Beijing announced the genetically modified regulations on June 6 Under the new regulations, all genetically modified and genetically modified products must be labeled, and all data must prove that the product meets the standards (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
