The use of genetically modified plants for food , animal feed being studied towards safety and increase the value and efficiency to the producers .

 

At the workshop took comments Draft Circular " define the order and procedures for granting and revoking certification transgenic plants using qualified for food, animal feed ," Deputy Minister ARD said Le Quoc Doanh , since 2008 , the Government has approved and allocated for the program MARD application of biotechnology in agriculture .

The time to enter our country each year more than 4 million tons of soybeans , soybean meal and 1.5 million tons of corn , including genetically modified products .

 

According to the draft circular was built , the transgenic plants were given certificates must meet one of the conditions .

 

First, the transgenic plants are evaluating dossiers Council grant a certificate of registration of genetically modified plants eligible for use as food , feed and conclude that transgenic plants do not have the uncontrollable risks for human health and animals .
