Introduction: after the introduction of the supporting implementation rules of the regulations on the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms, the insiders analyzed the measures on the safety management of the import of agricultural genetically modified organisms The regulations on the import of soybeans for production and processing in the detailed rules for genetically modified organisms mainly include: the regulations that "if an overseas company exports agricultural genetically modified organisms to China as processing raw materials, it shall apply to the administrative office of agricultural genetically modified organisms for the safety certificate of agricultural genetically modified organisms The Ministry of Agriculture shall make a decision of approval or disapproval within 270 days from the date of application by the applicant; it is stipulated that "for the import of agricultural genetically modified organisms for production or processing of raw materials, the contract shall be signed only after obtaining the safety certificate of agricultural genetically modified organisms issued by the Ministry of agriculture", etc At present, the domestic spot price and futures price are in the critical period of historical low, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the genetically modified rules of great significance, which played a role of "one or two thousand catties", and this factor will also have a significant impact on the soybean market Qualitatively speaking, the impact of the detailed rules on the market is favorable, which is reflected in the increase of capital cost and time cost of soybean import Industry insiders have learned from domestic authorities and traders that for labeling, the increased import cost is not large, in essence, a procedure has been added However, the time and risk cost of soybean import will be increased to a certain extent when overseas companies apply for safety certificates and domestic importers obtain import approval documents According to the measures, "if the imported agricultural genetically modified organisms do not have the safety certificate and relevant approval documents of agricultural genetically modified organisms issued by the agricultural administrative department of the State Council, or do not conform to the certificates and approval documents, they shall be returned or destroyed." In this way, when general traders order goods, they should not only consider the market price, but also consider whether they can get the certificate and the time to get the certificate The method stipulates that the approval period is 270 days, which further increases the risk of import operation In this link, the possible increased costs cannot be calculated by figures, because if the relevant departments strictly control the issuance of certificates and approval documents, the risk of import will tend to be infinite It should be said that the fuzziness of this provision is to facilitate the management of imports by the state The specific implementation of this method will have different impacts on the market depending on the loose and tight management of the relevant departments on the issuance of safety certificates and approval documents according to the method The formal implementation of the detailed rules will take place on March 20 It is estimated that before and after this time, the willingness of traders to sign import contracts may increase, even if there is a reverse signing agreement However, due to the attention of relevant departments, there will be no sharp increase in import contracts.
