Representatives from U.S. soybean-farmer-led organizations will soon join their counterparts from several other countries in China to meet with stakeholders including industry and government representatives to discuss the biotech-approval process there. A white paper on the global implications of delays for biotech soybean traits will be released at the meeting.
Farmer-leaders from the United Soybean Board (USB), the American Soybean Association (ASA) and the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) will team up with their fellow soybean farmers from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Canada, representing the International Soy Growers Alliance (ISGA).
The delegation will meet with Chinese industry and government officials to discuss biotechnology and its role in supplying a safe, reliable and abundant food supply to a global market.
Please join Bob Haselwood, Wade Cowan and Laura Foell via teleconference to discuss this hot topic.
