USDA/FAS GAIN report - Annual
biotechnology report
FRANCE
Highlights: Despite
continued consumer resistance and the absence of a national
law on the coexistence of biotech and non biotech crops,
French corn farmers are increasingly embracing biotech. The
area planted to biotech corn is expected to reach 5,000 ha
this year, as compared to
500-1,000 ha last year. Most of the product will likely
continue to be sold in Spain.
