Europe is still considered a major
market for Argentina,
but given the presentations that we heard about the focus on China,
the following question was put forward to one of the speakers.
“Europe continues to import soy as
feed for livestock, but with all the focus on China,
will Europe still be considered as an important
destination for Argentine exports?”
The answer was telling.
Meal will still go to Europe but
Argintina is not going to stop using GM crops. They don’t believe that there is
science to prove that GM crops are dangerous. Europe’s
continued focus on GM free may make them lack behind the rest of the world when
it comes to food production.
On the other hand, a writer and delegate from Europe
who promotes non GM crops put forward the argument that Europe
made a mistake and that the rest of the world should learn and not use GM
products.
Even in the farm writing community, there is debate.
