Whether GM cereals are safe Asian countries have different views

The record price of grain has hit a record high and whether genetically modified cereals play a key role in safeguarding future food supply. Asian countries still have different views on this issue.

The Philippine government has publicly expressed strong support for the commercial cultivation of genetically modified maize, but it is not so enthusiastic in many countries.

Ocampo, a genetic engineering promoter at Greenpeace, said that everyone is talking about the development of high-yield cereals and climate-changing cereals. However, existing technologies are still far from the goal of “meeting current needs”.

Despite this, the Philippine government still insists on subsidies for the planting of genetically modified corn.

According to Ocampo, the Philippines may be the first country in Asia to develop a crop of GM crops.

In Japan, because consumers have doubts about the safety of genetic foods and are not engaged in the cultivation of genetically modified crops, they have imported genetically modified cereals to make foods such as edible oil and feed.

In addition to the public’s concerns about safety, Japan also stipulates that GM foods must be labeled. Therefore, businesses are reluctant to introduce GM foods in the market to test consumer acceptance.

Japan has not banned the cultivation of genetically modified crops, but the relevant regulations are very stringent, creating resistance for companies that want to invest in this area.

More than half of Japan’s food supply depends on imports. As food prices continue to soar, the government is also worried that GM cereals may be another way to protect food supplies and alleviate environmental problems.

An official from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture said that due to the public’s suspicion of genetically modified foods, business is not going to be commercialized in the future.

However, he said that in view of the expansion of foreign GM crop cultivation and the strong demand for food, Japan is also currently exploring the future of commercial farming in this area.

In South Korea, a regulation that came into effect in January this year severely controls the import of genetically modified seeds. An official from the Ministry of Agriculture revealed that imported or indigenous genetically modified seeds were not used for commercial planting. Despite the high food prices, the authorities did not consider relaxing the regulations.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Bangkok pointed out that there is no indication that the governments of Asian countries are strongly promoting the use of genetically modified seeds. He Changchou, representative of the Asian region of the organization, pointed out that with modern agricultural technology, countries can produce enough food without using such seeds.

Xie Yang of the Development Research Center of the State Council of China stated that China does not allow the consumption of genetically modified cereals, including seeds, but indirect manufactured foods, such as edible oils, are not banned but must be labeled.
