Update news Genetically modified corn
VietNamNet Bridge – The shift from rice to corn growing in the country’s northern mountains has proved successful, officials said at an agricultural conference in Son La Province this week.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has just signed Decision 1836/QD-BTNMT on the issuance of bio-safety certificate for the genetically modified corn MON89034 of Dekalb Vietnam Company Limited.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has allowed the use of four varieties of genetically modified corn, but farmers still need to get permission from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment to grow them on a large scale.
