China approves two GMO corn strains for imports as demand soars
Bloomberg reported that China has approved two genetically modified corn varieties from Bayer AG and Syngenta AG for imports as demand for animal feed surges.
The two strains MON87411 and MZIR098, which are resistant to insects and tolerant of herbicides, are approved for imports for five years starting December 2020, according to a list from the agriculture ministry on Monday.
The report says the latest approvals are notable as China’s corn imports have jumped to a record because the domestic hog population is rebounding faster than expected from African swine fever. That’s jolted the government into action, including resuming state corn sales and pledging to expand domestic crop production.

Adapting to climate change in Wisconsin remains a uniting cause across the state. Climate change related issues have effects on everything from industry to the very cycles of nature. Particularly for states like Wisconsin, which depends economically on agriculture and natural spaces, matters are pressing and the clock is ticking. That’s why on the heels of the governor’s climate change task force releasing a comprehensive report last week agriculture groups are organizing alongside environmental groups around water quality.
