U.S. Approves GM Potatoes to Enter the Chinese Market in the Short Term

U.S. Approves GM Potatoes to Enter Market

Nanfang Daily (Reporter Liu Mengdan) On March 20, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement saying that the safety evaluation of six genetically modified potatoes was completed on that day and commercial planting can be carried out. It is understood that Simprot Corporation, which develops genetically modified potatoes, is also a McDonald's raw material supplier, but McDonald's refuses to use this variety of genetically modified potatoes.

As far as the Chinese market is concerned, due to the fermentation of the “GM” incident last year, although the domestic and the anti-virus sides have been arguing about the safety of genetically modified foods, most consumers are already talking about the “transgenic” discoloration, even if genetically modified potatoes enter the country. Consumers may also find it difficult to accept, and most potato processing companies at home and abroad have also explicitly stated that they do not accept genetically modified potatoes as raw materials. Therefore, it is difficult for genetically modified potatoes to enter the Chinese market in the short term.

However, if you look at the safety concerns of consumers, genetically modified potatoes have better disease resistance, rot resistance, and higher yields. If GM potatoes are introduced into China, the domestic potato production is likely to have a big increase. This level is also in line with the requirements of domestic potato staples to increase potato yields, and is a way to solve the problem of low potato yields in China. .
