American seed company Syngenta hopes to sort out compensation issues over its shipment of sweet corn seed contaminated with genetically engineered material as quickly as possible, a spokesman said today. A border bungle this year has led to an estimated 4420kg of sweet corn seed being investigated for possible contamination. About two-thirds of the seed has been planted in the Hawke's Bay, and near Gisborne and Ashburton.
