GM rice seed or spread to 40 yuan per pound without planting permit

In recent years, there have been constant media reports that rice sold in markets around Wuhan contains genetically modified components. At the same time, 25 of the rice products exported to the EU in 2013 were found to contain genetically modified components. However, China has not approved the commercial cultivation and import of any kind of genetically modified rice. In April this year, a reporter at a large supermarket in Wuhan randomly purchased 5 types of rice and sent it to the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine for testing. There are actually three kinds of rice containing the genetically modified component BT63, which is the same as the GM component detected in the European Union.

Sales of Planted Transgenic Rice in Wuhan

BT63 is a patented transgenic insect-resistant rice developed by the School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong Agricultural University. In 2009, it received a genetically modified organism safety certificate, but it has not been licensed for commercial planting.

In April this year, the reporter found in the famous seed street of Zhongshan Road in Wuchang, Wuhan, that because the characteristics of BT63 transgenic rice were mainly insect-resistant, it was called by the locals as insect-resistant rice in the market.

The reporterâ€™s investigation found that many farmers are planting genetically modified rice in the village of Venus in the Lingxia Temple in Jiangxiâ€™s Jiangxia section. They bought it from the seed sales point of Venus Village for 40 yuan a pound, but for various reasons, the sales point The boss evaded interviews with reporters. The planting of genetically modified rice is not only the village of Venus.

How are GM seeds leaked and spread?

Zhang Qifa, Professor, School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, and leader of the BT63 transgenic insect-resistant rice project. The interview did not deny the possibility of the proliferation of GM rice in Huanong.

According to Zhang Qifa, in the 1990s, the state had no strict legal provisions on the safety management of genetically modified organisms. Many scientific research achievements were shared by everyone. Until 2001, the State Council issued the "Administrative Measures on the Safety of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms." Zhang Qie said that before this, seed companies could easily get the BT63 transgenic insect-resistant rice seeds and then breed them on their own, and then flow into the market. However, according to several media reports, Zhang Jianwei once served as the CEO of a company named Conil, which is precisely the source of Huanong's intention to disclose genetically modified rice. The company has been punished by local agricultural law enforcement agencies. .

According to Zhangâ€™s remarks, farmers should have no technology to leak genetically modified insect-resistant rice, but seed companies have the potential to leak it.

Transgenic rice is mixed in other rice packaging

According to the information on the outer packaging of the two varieties of transgenic rice, the reporter came to Qiaokou Street, a joint of urban and rural areas in Huangpi District of Wuhan City. Among the three kinds of rice that were detected by reporters and contained genetically modified genes, two types of rice were produced. The site is here.

According to the director of Ni, the rice and rice from their processing plant come from all over the country. During the processing, the factory will make certain deployments according to the taste and color of the rice, and then pack and leave the factory.

The rice factory standards that China has formulated do not contain genetically modified detection items. This has led to the fact that even if some rice contains genetically modified components, rice sellers and consumers are not informed.

General manager of processing enterprises: has spread to Fujian and Anhui Province

A general manager of a food processing company in Shanghai told reporters that according to what they know: GM rice has spread, it is difficult to recover, and it is out of control. Most of the rice in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, and Fujian have been â€œcontaminatedâ€ by genetically modified plants. Because of the large number of rice sources in the market, companies are also hard to detect despite the detection process.
