Mexico and Korea Approved Import for Agrisure Duracade Trait
September 11, 2013| |
Genetically modified corn Agrisure Duracade™ trait (Event 5307) was given import approval by governments of Mexico and South Korea, allowing importations from the US for food or feed use. The Agrisure Duracade trait developed by Syngenta is the first corn rootworm to help preserve trait durability and corn rootworm management options against evolving insect pressure.
The Agrisure Duracade trait has completed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) consultation process, received registration from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is fully deregulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Aside from Korea and Mexico, the trait has received import approval from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan and cultivation approval from Canada.
