Negotiations between China and Brazil on trade of genetically modified soybeans

Introduction: according to Sao Paulo, Brazil, a foreign trade delegation from Brazil is negotiating with the Chinese government on the genetically modified regulations governing Chinese imports of Brazilian soybeans Odilson Ribeiro, director of the Health Inspection Bureau of Brazil's Ministry of agriculture, told the Dow Jones news agency in Auster: "the negotiations went smoothly, and we believe there will be a formal result on Monday." China recently announced that it will postpone the grace period for the implementation of the regulations on the import of genetically modified products, which expires on December 20, until September 20 next year However, there will be some changes in terms on December 20, such as the approval time of applying for government approval for import license of genetically modified products will be changed from the current 30 days to 60 days The Brazilian government is most concerned about who issues the GM product certificate Currently, the import is responsible for issuing, but the Chinese government may change this clause to the country of origin in the near future This will put Brazil in trouble Because in Rio Grande do Sul and Parana provinces in southern Brazil, genetically modified soybeans are planted in large quantities, but according to Brazilian government regulations, genetically modified soybeans are not allowed to be planted, so it will not be able to issue a genetically modified certificate Whether Brazil can officially approve the planting of genetically modified products is waiting for the Supreme Court's decision Another issue with INU is that China may change the issuance of certificates to ship by ship rather than country by country as in the past It will cost more Inu
