Ministry of Agriculture: GM rice and corn are safe
On August 17 last year, after the Ministry of Agriculture of China approved the issuance of several production and application safety certificates for genetically modified corn and genetically modified insect-resistant rice, relevant GM crops and food products have caused fierce controversy in society and raised public concerns. In response, the reporter interviewed the head of the Agricultural Genetically Modified Organism Safety Management Office of the Ministry of Agriculture on issues of concern to the people. Q: Why should China advance the research and application of transgenic technology? Answer: Using genetically modified technology to breed new varieties with high yield, high quality, multi-resistance and high efficiency can reduce the input of pesticides and fertilizers and play an important role in protecting the ecological environment and improving product quality. China is a country with a large population. Solving the food problem of 1.3 billion people has always been a top priority. After years of efforts, China has made significant achievements in important gene excavation, cultivation of new transgenic varieties, and industrialization applications. Efforts to seize the commanding heights of future economic and technological competition and accelerate the development of research and application of genetically modified biotechnology can provide strong scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of agriculture. Q: What is the development trend of the international GM technology industry? A: Since the first commercial application of genetically modified crops in 1996, developed countries have adopted genetically modified technology as a strategic priority to seize the commanding heights of science and technology and enhance the international competitiveness of agriculture. Developing countries have also actively followed up. Twenty-five countries around the world have approved the commercialization of 24 GM crops. The area of ​​genetically modified crops represented by genetically modified soybeans, cotton, corn, and rapeseed grew from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 134 million hectares in 2009, an increase of 79 times in 14 years. In 2008, a total of 55 countries around the world approved 24 kinds of genetically modified crops for sale on the market, with a market value of US$7.5 billion. The EU also has six countries that allow the planting of genetically modified crops. The United States has approved the planting of six varieties of genetically modified rice, Iran has approved one, and Canada and Mexico have approved applications for the import of herbicide-tolerant rice, allowing them to eat. Q: What are the laws and regulations for the safety management of genetically modified organisms in China? A: Our government attaches great importance to the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms. In 1996, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the “Implementation Measures for the Safety Management of Agricultural Biological Gene Engineeringâ€. In 2001, the State Council promulgated the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), and carried out the whole process safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms engaged in the research, testing, production, processing, operation, and import and export activities in China. . After the "Regulations" were promulgated and implemented, the Ministry of Agriculture and the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine had successively formulated five supporting regulations, issued a catalogue of genetically modified organisms, and established systems for research, testing, production, processing, operations, import licensing, and approval and labeling management. By the end of 2009, the Ministry of Agriculture had issued 62 safety technical standards for genetically modified organisms, which ensured the technical requirements for legal administrative supervision.
