Introduction: data transmission network of the United States April 9 news: the United States Agricultural counselor released a report on the production and consumption of French oilseeds, saying that France continues to be inclined to force the use of non GMO soybeans in animal feed The decision means Brazil has gained a majority of the French soybean import business The French feed industry has been asking soybean and soybean meal suppliers to label products containing more than 1% of biotech ingredients French oilseed acreage is expected to decline this year, with the area expected to fall by 3% to 1.1 million hectares (2.66 million acres) The yield per unit area will increase, but it is expected to be less than 3 million tons due to the reduction of the sown area In 2002, the sown area of French sunflower seeds is expected to be 6 to 8 percentage points lower than that in 2001, due to the decrease in direct funding assistance to farmers But it is expected to be higher than the unusually low yield in 2001 France's sunflower seed planting area is expected to be 660000 hectares, 1.483 million British acres, and the sunflower seed production is expected to be 1.58 million tons As the government stops providing protective payments to non GM soybean planters, it is likely that the sown area and yield of soybean will be lower than that in 2001, 100000 HA and 250000 tons respectively.
