Paper Examines Global Crop Export Trade of GM Technology
January 30, 2025| |
A paper published in Food and Energy Security shows the impact of transgenic technology on global crop export trade since its introduction in the production field. The paper analyzed binary marginal data of genetically modified (GM) soybean technological innovation and export in 41 countries worldwide from 2002 to 2012.
The results of the study showed that GM technological innovation plays an important role in increasing the volume of soybean exports, but does not significantly affect the number of countries receiving soybean exports. The study also found that cultivation of GM crops has been found to have no significant effect on food crops, such as soybeans and corn, but has a significant positive impact on industrial commodity crops like cotton.
The paper mentioned that policies regarding GM crop cultivation have a moderating effect on the output of technological innovation in the export extensive margin. The authors recommend strengthening GM crop research, allocating technological investments, and refining regulatory policies to ensure a stable supply of agricultural products and boost competitiveness in the international market.
