GrainCorp promises segregation of GE canola in Australia
GRAINCORP is preparing its sites for the second season of GM canola deliveries – with segregations for ’canola’ and ’non-GM canola’ available. And non-GM producers looking to market their product specifically as GM-free will be pleased to know that moves towards a fee for testing to prove canola was GM-free have been abandoned. ”We have managed to negotiate with crushers and get an outcome that is good for growers, with no fees incurred for testing on the canola’s GM status,” said GrainCorp’s corporate affairs manager David Ginns.
