Introduction: If there's not a green peace on the way, yesterday's soybean market could be said to have a lot of good news Whether it's the soybean export sales report or the nipping report of NOPA in July, or the soybean aphid disease quickly spread in Minnesota, it seems to be a relief for the unstable bulls, but a report said Genetically modified soybeans may contain a "mysterious DNA fragment", which makes the long front collapse in an instant The net short selling of commodity funds reached 8500 on that day! Greenpeace has been working hard to fight with international biotechnology companies over genetically modified products In fact, not long ago, Greenpeace surrounded the building of Brazil's Ministry of agriculture to protest against the Brazilian government's permission to plant genetically modified soybeans What's more, the so-called mysterious gene in GMO soybeans is not hard to recall the painful memory That is, last October, when Japan found the cry9c gene of Starlink genetically modified corn in the local products made from imported American corn, Japan sharply reduced the import of corn from the United States Traditionally, Japan, the largest corn importer in Asia, is also the number one corn importer in the United States Customer Starlink is just to be forgotten by the market American corn is just going out of the shadow of Starlink, and the "mysterious DNA" on soybeans suddenly emerges This is bound to make many customers of American soybeans, especially those public doubts with strong health awareness in the EU However, the EU 15 countries as a whole are the largest customers of American soybeans If there is a strange D in soybeans Na, then there must be new barriers to international acceptance of us soybeans (USDA data shows that more than two-thirds of us sown soybeans are GMO soybeans) So it's no surprise that soybeans are afraid of aphids, funds are afraid of genes, and the market is reacting so crazily to a piece of news As the largest single national soybean customer in the United States, China's transgenic problem is also raising waves According to the information learned in the past few days, when the specific rules of the genetically modified regulations will be published? At present, there seems to be a basic consensus in the market, that is, they may not be promulgated in the short term, and may be delayed until the October visit of President Bush of the United States to China This strategy of procrastination and indecision, which Chinese are used to, is a headache for Americans across the ocean In fact, although the detailed rules have not yet been promulgated, they have basically inhibited the import of soybeans from the United States Although qiaoxun reported that there will still be 1 million to 1.4 million tons of soybeans delivered each month in August and September, the specific implementation rules of the transgenic will continue to be a heart disease of soybean traders as long as there are uncertainties.
