 Aug. 19, 2011 Source: Syngenta Seeds Chinese orders for U.S. corn increased in July and recently began to include the 2011 crop. China has not previously represented a substantial portion of the U.S. corn export market. Syngenta has obtained U.S. and key import market approvals for the Agrisure Viptera trait for all major markets as recommended by both the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO). However, we are still awaiting import approval from China, which we expect in late March 2012. While we are in compliance with these industry association guidelines, Bunge and Consolidated Grain & Barge (CGB) have indicated they will not accept grain containing the Agrisure Viptera trait. We are disappointed with their decision; however, other major grain companies have told Syngenta that they are accepting grain containing the Agrisure Viptera trait. To view a letter to Syngenta customers, click here To view an FQA about the issue, click here Syngenta is working with the grain trade, the NCGA, ethanol groups and other stakeholders to address this situation with minimal disruption to the marketplace, to growers and to our resellers. Syngenta has established a toll-free number with a listing of sites accepting grain with the Agrisure Viptera trait by ZIP code. To access this information, please email Export.Info@syngenta.com or call 1-800-319-1360 between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. CST, Monday through Saturday.
