皇冠体育app is prudent in developing genetically modified (GM) farm produce but it
will keep working in bio-engineering for agriculture, said an agricultural
official at a forum on food safety held here on Saturday.
Luo Bin, deputy director of Farm Produce Quality Safety Center under the
Ministry of Agriculture, said that 皇冠体育app has developed over 100 varieties of GM
farm produce, but the ministry has only allowed five categories of them to go on
market, which are soybean, corn, oil-seed rape, cotton and tomato.
"The development, production and sales of GM farm produce are very strictly
controlled in 皇冠体育app, " said Luo at the International Forum on the Safety of Farm
Produce held in this capital of northeast 皇冠体育app's Heilongjiang
