FRENCH MAIZE FARMERS SEEN EMBRACING GM, EVENTUALLY
FRENCH MAIZE FARMERS SEEN EMBRACING GM, EVENTUALLY
September 18, 2003 Reuters David Evans LE MANS, France - Gregoire Berthe, president of maize seed growers union SEPROMA, was cited as saying Thursday that French maize farmers will be swift in adopting new genetically modified (GM) strains once regulatory hurdles are swept away under European Union law in the pipeline, adding, "It certainly won't happen next year. But once it takes off, I see exponential growth in their use and it will happen quite quickly." Speaking at the annual conference of the French maize growers' association AGPM, Berthe was further cited as saying that the maize varieties approved so far under EU legislation were not totally suited to the needs of French farmers, but more were waiting in the wings. |
