Taiwan Approves Another Biotech Corn Variety
August 28, 2009| |
Taiwan's Department of Health has cleared Syngenta's four stacked-trait biotech corn products for import into the country. With this recent approval, the DOH has granted permits for 11 stacked-trait biotech corn products in total, including eight events of 2-way stack, two events of 3-way stack and one event of 4-way stack. According to a report by the US Grains Council, the latest approval of stacked events "should undoubtedly help smooth the import process for U.S. corn."
Taiwan imported 423,955 metric tons of corn in July 2009, a 20 percent increase compared to last year.
