Corn Grain Import Status of Genetically Modified Organisms
April 22, 1999 6(6):36
Joe Lauer, Corn Agronomist
This year there is a lot of concern among corn growers as to whether the grain of
genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be exported or even accepted by local
elevators next fall. Below is a table that outlines U.S., Japan, European Union
and Canada approval status of various GMO events. Corn hybrids that DO NOT include
GMO events are high-oil corn, IMI corn, white corn, and waxy corn.
