RUSSIA SUSPENDS IMPORTS OF RR CORN
Sep. 28, 2012
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
Russia has suspended the importation and use of genetically engineered corn from Monsanto.
The action is in response to a recent study released by France's University of Caen which charged the company's Roundup Ready corn caused tumors and liver and kidney damage to rats.
The study has drawn widespread skepticism because of the small sample group, incomplete data and other inconsistencies.
Monsanto says the Russian ban doesn't really amount to that much given the fact the country does not allow the planting of gm crops and they import very little U.S. corn.
