In addition to China, those countries import crops such as genetically modified soybeans and corn.

A few days ago, grain micro-editor issued an article "these kinds of genetically modified soybean corn obtained the national import safety certificate can only be used as raw material processing can not directly enter the food field," after the article was published, some netizens want to know whether only China imports these genetically modified grain, besides China there are other countries?

In fact, it has been 21 years since the world first began large-scale commercial planting of genetically modified crops in 1996. In 2016, a total of 185.1 million hectares of genetically modified crops were planted in 26 countries. In addition to China, the following countries and regions are allowed to import genetically modified crops, including the European Union.

However, it should be pointed out that, as stipulated in our country, most of the genetically modified crops are used for raw material processing and are not allowed to be directly used in the food field. For example, rapeseed imported from the EU is mainly used in biodiesel production.

In addition, rice and wheat, which are the most likely genetically modified varieties to be approved for direct consumption in the world, are still in the safety and environmental assessment process. Up to now, no country has approved the commercial cultivation of genetically modified staple foods.

In 2009, the Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms Safety Management Office of the Ministry of Agriculture issued relevant safety certificates for rice and corn research applied by Huazhong Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, allowing production and application in Hubei and Shandong Province, but not approved for commercial planting.
