In the import of genetically modified soybeans under the impact of China's soybean industry, 'moribund' .15 years, genetically modified soybeans in the security controversy, and imports rising. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture approved the payment of three may be imported for processing raw GM soy security certificates, no solution has set off a controversy.

Heilongjiang Soybean Association Missions: genetically highly correlated with tumor
CCTV network (reporter Li literature reports) from genetically modified soybean imports since the day accompanied with controversy, which due to the people of their 'toxic' concerns. Yet no scientific experiments in the premise, Heilongjiang Soybean Association, a tumor highly relevant analysis report, shocking.
'Before we on the safety of genetically modified soybeans are cautious, but seeing << 2012 >> Annual Report of Cancer Registration in China, immediately aware of the problem(http://www.best-news.us/).' Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said Deputy Secretary-General Wang words, more than half of our country edible oil, soybean oil, and soybean oil market share of more than 90% were occupied by genetically modified soybean oil, 'involves too, must face up to.'
Cancer Registration in China << 2012 >> Annual Report shows that China's annual new cancer cases around 3.5 million, about 2.5 million deaths due to cancer of the National day 8550 people to become cancer patients, with an average per one minute there are six people have been diagnosed with cancer, Every 7-8 people have a person dying of cancer, cancer incidence was younger trend( News http://www.best-news.us/).
'According to the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association experts speculate that the tumor predisposing factors, and the environment and climate, the local eating habits have a certain relationship.' Wang words said, 'I based on their own in the food industry for 20 years of work experience, but found the cause of cancer may be associated with genetically modified soybean oil consumption has great relevance. '
Transgenic correlation with tumor, foreign .2010 already disclosed by the Russian National Genetic Safety Association and the Institute of Ecology and Environmental scientist Dr. Alexei Surov joint experiments, selection widely used in agriculture GMO containing different proportions of ordinary soybeans feeding a fast reproduction rate Campbell hamsters two years, the results show that genetically modified organisms harmful to mammals, researchers found that eating genetically modified food animals will lose ability to reproduce.
September 2012, the French scientists such Seralini Kane University in Food Chemistry Toxicology << >> magazine published the findings, said through a period of two years 200 classification tests conducted mice, they found that use of genetically modified maize NK603 and the 'Roundup' (trade name 'Roundup') contaminated feed fed mice, susceptible to tumors and visceral injury.
Wang words introduction, Henan, Hebei, Gansu, Qinghai, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian and other places, are basically of genetically modified soybean oil consumption concentrated regions, which is also the country tumor incidence clusters. Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Shandong , Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, basically not to consume genetically modified soybean oil-based, not cancer incidence concentrated area.
'Shandong and Jiangsu provinces adjacent to the domestic processing of genetically modified soybeans up, but the high incidence of gastric cancer in Jiangsu, Shandong and not worth noting that residents in Shandong peanut oil-based.' Wang words said, 'Again, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang Guizhou these places, people eat mainly rapeseed, cancer is not high. '
Soybean fat is not a simple, its development has an important role in the human body. 'Ingredients inside, especially vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, the most important role in the human body is the reproduction, so important essential nutrients, if from the GMO, it is Ken has great health threat. 'Wang words said.
'Our association to the conclusion that consumption of genetically modified soybean oil consumers are more likely to suffer from cancer, infertility disease, so genetically modified soybean oil should not be conclusive in the absence of access to safe before for commercial consumption.' Wang words said in April this year, He will pay to the Heilongjiang Sheng Nongwei this report, I hope to attract attention, but so far have not received a reply.
CCTV network (reporter Li literature reports) Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture approved the payment of the three can be used as raw materials for processing imported transgenic soybeans security certificate. So far, China's agricultural genetically modified organisms safety certificates reached 82, to permit the import of genetically modified soybean crop field covers , corn, canola, cotton, etc. Among them, soybean consumption due to quantity and wide and concern.
The genetically modified soybean oncoming still raging, another storm rolled countless It is in this controversy, China's imports of genetically modified soybeans, has gone through 15 years.
Imports of genetically modified soybeans began in 1997. Starting this year, the dispute has not stopped every time the controversial content, are inseparable from the 'safe' this core .15 years past, it was like an answer is always no solution , both tired and exhausted the dispute.
Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences researcher at the Institute of Plant Protection, genetically modified organisms safety committee vice chairman Peng Yu made to answer media questions, said that China these three new varieties of genetically modified soybeans are very careful security assessment, security is guaranteed.
'An unsafe, not just to say, to come up with sufficient scientific evidence to.' Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Agricultural expert Liu Zhongtang 75 years old, played 53 years with soybean dealings, he said, China's consumption of half the world's genetically modified soybeans, but not this experiment, which led to controversy.
Heilongjiang Soybean Association Deputy Secretary-General Wang words have been opponents of genetically modified soybeans, he believes that some experimental point of view from abroad, GM soy and cancer and infertility highly correlated, and our papers and some experts in the absence of experimental conditions under the said security, 'very irresponsible.'
'A gene is inserted, the right to produce some other genes certainly influence how much influence in the end, will not cause harm to people, I am also very worried.' Said Liu Zhongtang, the Ministry of Agriculture requires genetically modified soybeans can not enter the dining table, can not grow, from point of fact, they deny it, 'a contradiction.'
Although worldwide, genetically modified corn, soybeans, cotton and other crops questioning and opposition voices, but in fact, as an important means of agricultural production world, 'GM technology' has become the world's agricultural development trend.
Liu Zhongtang and Wang words do not deny that this is a cutting-edge science and technology. Simply, 'It is now in the stage of Destructive Enthusiasm, we should remain vigilant uncertainty it is not necessary when the foreign guinea pigs.' Wang words said.
And Wang words is different, Liu Zhongtang believe that this Department of Agriculture released three kinds of genetically modified soybean imports, should be very careful. 'I have not found on these three papers genetically modified soybeans and experimental data, my own and no sufficient evidence to prove It is harmful, this time you have to believe that the state. '
Food safety experts Dong Lion said that at present China deemed genetically modified foods are harmless, 'because in the existing conditions, no conclusive proof of genetically modified foods on the human body must have hazards, but can not prove that a certain sound, so deemed harmless . '
'For the safety of genetically modified soybeans should experiment project, systematically by hand, for a long time to study.' Liu Zhongtang said that no one before the results are finalized, 'I still stand on the table the first not to eat, so can be more secure reliable. '
It is in this controversy, China's imports of genetically modified soybeans highs - in 1997, 2.88 million tons soon be a breakthrough, reached 11 million tons in 2003, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 figures were 42.55 million tons, 54.8 million tons, 51.83 million tons, 58.38 million tons.
I wonder if there will be any future type of genetically modified soybean imports, but as long as safety is not concluded, the debate continues.
CCTV network (reporter Li literature reports) face of the raging imports of genetically modified soybeans, domestic soybean cries for help after another. Heilongjiang soybean origin in this world due to half of the country's production and brought to the front, blocking action has already begun.
Domestic soybean self-sufficiency of the situation, after China joins the WTO quickly break, the rapid increase in soybean imports, the domestic soybean market now accounts for 3/4 or more, a serious impact on domestic soybean cultivation, processing and marketing.
Heilongjiang bear the brunt. Since 2002, Heilongjiang soybean farming on the 10 yuan per mu subsidy manner, May 19, 2007 and the establishment of a provincial Soybean Association.
Almost all crushers Heilongjiang are natural soybean processing enterprises in the face of cheap genetically modified soybeans, soybean prices did shake some Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said Deputy Secretary-General Wang words, in 2008, Harbin buy a batch of genetically modified soybean soybean prices He called all the bean prices after informed discussion, let us think about the consequences of genetically modified soybean crushing and finally reached a consensus: not to import, not processed genetically modified soybeans.
In transgenic soybean prices far below domestic soybean prices, soybean prices are still abide by the consensus of Heilongjiang, holds the last piece of pure land of natural soy, but even if all enterprises in Heilongjiang beans together, it is still difficult to resist the attack of soybean imports.
In order to save the dying domestic soybean prices, the NDRC announced in January 2009, for the acquisition of domestic soybean processing enterprises 160 yuan per ton subsidy to domestic soybean and soybean imports leveled the spread, but the processing enterprises must follow the 3740 tonne dollars to buy domestic soybeans.
The purchase price of not less than 3740 yuan / ton estimates, the net acquisition of subsidy 160 yuan / ton, the cost of raw materials for the 3580 yuan / ton, while the lowest cost processing of imported soybeans is only 3400 yuan / ton. Moreover, the subsidy policy processing enterprises, From 1 May 2010 to cease practice.
July 16, 2010, in the Heilongjiang provincial government held a special meeting, soy was raised as an important issue. Session, first in the province to implement non-mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods, the implementation of competitive prices, the formation of enterprise groups to achieve strong strong joint.
Although the conference will upgrade to soy 'guaranteed national soybean food safety' in height, but some too weak Heilongjiang. 'We are a province against genetically modified soybeans in four countries, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, as well as new to the Paraguay, described as stressful. 'Wang words said.
At the same time, China Soybean Industry Association is also promoting the construction of protected areas in June .2011, by the China Soybean Industry Association named the 'Chinese non-GMO soybeans core protected area' settled in Agribusiness ninety-three Authority, which is China's first non-genetically modified soybeans core protected areas, but this protected area is limited to ninety-three Authority does not cover all the soybean growing areas of Heilongjiang.
2012, Heilongjiang Province, a number of departments, agencies and the State Council to the NPC, proposed the establishment of the black non-transgenic protected areas are recommended, but not by the Ministry of Agriculture Bureau on the grounds that China is currently not allowed commercial planting of GM crops, there is no established non-transgenic protected areas is necessary.
Affected by the impact of imports of genetically modified soybeans in Heilongjiang soybean acreage from a peak in 2009 of 7,294 acres, down 3,898 acres last year, 97% of the relevant companies in the production, semi-shutdown state, which means that in 15 years of resistance After defeat in Heilongjiang have been exposed as, starting from the 'main soybean producing areas' to 'imported soybean sales area' change.
CCTV network (reporter Li literature reports) Many experts believe that genetically modified organisms as a new technical means, there are still immature and uncertainty, and reduce dependence on imports of genetically modified soybeans, you can either avoid these unpredictable risk, but also can protect the domestic soybean.
'China has an urgent demand for edible oils, which requires a lot of soy.' Li Xiande Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences experts said China's domestic limited arable land, soybean supply, production is limited, can only rely on imports.
Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Agricultural experts advocate Liu Zhongtang, now only engage in Soybean different development strategies, have room for survival. 'Is the development of non-genetically modified soy consumption, to ensure 20% of the basic supplies.' Non-GMO soy protein content, prices are high, in order to avoid weaknesses.
Second is to improve soybean yields. Currently, foreign soybean yield per hectare is 3,000 kg, while China is only 1,600 kg, there is much room for improvement during this period needs policy support, the establishment of two price system: First, farmers sow beans benefits can not be less than the corn, the need subsidies, two corporate acquisitions soybean prices are not higher than the price of imported soybeans, so that our businesses and those owned enterprises in joint ventures with a horizontal line to compete.
'When we put this difficulty crossing passed the safety of genetically modified soybeans may also have a conclusion have questions, we did not have no problem, so much the better.' Liu Zhongtang said.
'We are driven by prices, or other means, such as special varieties planted, designed varieties acquisitions, contract farming, family farms, improve yields.' Heilongjiang Soybean Association Deputy Secretary-General Wang words said that last year, Heilongjiang soybean production was 12.8 million tons , such as raising the 1/3, will be able to reach 1600 to 18,000,000 tons, and then make corn planting industrial land, the land use in some southern abandoned together, we can achieve 2600 to 30,000,000 tons, so that dependence on imported soybeans will be reduced a lot, do not import 50 million tons, 'the three forty million tons is enough.'
Wang words specifically mentioned, food is of strategic materials, not everyone involved. 'America is now the pattern is soybeans, international companies doing business in China soybean processing, the last Chinese consumers pay.' Wang words to say, this pattern must be broken, to There is a Central Grain, COFCO, spinning and other companies formed a joint procurement platform, reasonably determine the purchase cost and quantity, can not let foreign final say.
Community should actively promote genetically modified soybeans and product identification labels, re-make more stringent mandatory requirements identified by enforcing norms to ensure prompt play a significant role in enabling consumers to choose conditionally so, select Security domestic soybean people more, soybean imports will naturally decrease.
'GM technology should not be so high-end applications in the food, and can also be useful in other ways.' Wang words said, such as cultivated species can be like Israel, to increase growth rate, cultivate flora, eat junk, 'This is disguised increase arable land, favorable for food. '
In the current uncertain security of imports of genetically modified soybeans in the case, to reduce its dependence is undoubtedly the best way to protect themselves.
