China's GM policy is still unclear

Introduction: China's new policy to regulate the import of genetically modified soybeans and their products is still the focus of attention for exporters In order to understand how the response can meet the policy requirements, the American Soybean Association and Chinese government departments held a meeting in China last week, attended by other people from China's crushing enterprises, domestic and foreign trade traders and suppliers However, Chinese officials have failed to allay concerns that the March 20 implementation date could seriously affect trade The top leaders of the U.S government also expressed concern If China's policy remains unclear when President Bush Visits China in February, it will also be a major topic on his agenda Of particular concern are contracts signed before March 20, but whether vessels arriving after the cut-off date also apply China's new policy An official from China's Ministry of Agriculture said the implementation date would not be postponed again, contrary to market rumors, but an official from the Ministry of Agriculture said there had been no application from overseas companies for genetically modified safety documents The official also said it was likely that samples of the goods would need to be delivered between the shipping dates The Department of agriculture further stated that there was no tolerance for vessels that declared that they did not contain GM "All non GMO soybean imports need to be tested, and domestic testing equipment can test 1 / 1000 of the ingredients But as far as we know, no foreign soybean is completely non transgenic, including Brazil soybean " An analyst at the national grain and Oil Information Center said At the same time, there are also reports that China plans to adopt technical and scientific barrier policies to protect its domestic agriculture This statement confirms some people's speculation that the introduction of new import policies is at least intended to stimulate domestic soybean prices Awq (author:) to feed Weibo to:
