From next year, South Korea will import 300000 tons of soybeans from China every year

Introduction: the reporter learned from Liaoning entry exit inspection and quarantine bureau that South Korea will import 300000 tons of soybeans from China every year from next year According to reports, South Korea needs to import 300000 tons of edible soybeans every year In the past, these soybeans were basically imported from the United States However, since March 1, the legal requirements of South Korea require that when selling soybeans, the seller must indicate whether they are genetically modified products, and the edible soybeans (used for tofu, soy sauce, soymilk, etc.) must be non genetically modified products, or they will be severely punished In this regard, the National Academy of agricultural product quality management of the Ministry of agriculture and forestry of South Korea carried out a random inspection of genetically modified soybeans sold in the Korean market The results showed that more than 40% of the soybeans imported from the United States were genetically modified soybeans, while the soybeans imported from China had not been detected as genetically modified products Therefore, South Korea will import about 300000 tons of edible soybeans from China in 2002 However, South Korea believes that there are many non GMO certificates issued by China at present, such as universities, research institutes, inspection and quarantine bureaus, and many of them are not standardized In the future, importers of edible soybeans from China are required to attach non GMO certificates issued by inspection and quarantine institutions Therefore, the inspection, quarantine and management of GMOs will be greatly increased in 2002, which should be attached great importance to by relevant departments (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
