Egypt wants to explore biotech wheat
Egypt is "very interested" in developing a regulatory system that would allow for the introduction of genetically engineered crops, the head of the Kansas Wheat Commission said Thursday in a press release. However, it is critical for the U.S. to dispel ideas among middle eastern and east African wheat buyers that the U.S. is the only country working on biotech wheat, Chief Executive Dusti Fritz said. Fritz recently addressed the issue of biotech wheat with approximately 200 trade contacts at U.S. Wheat Associates' Middle East/East Africa crop quality seminar. She stressed that the U.S. is not the only country researching biotechnology and that biotech crops are being used globally, according to the release.
