Venezuela to Prohibit Transgenic Crops

>

> President Chavez Announces Ban of Genetically Engineered Crops in

Venezuela

> BioX - China, July 8, 2006

>

> Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias has announced that the

cultivation of genetically modified crops will be prohibited on

Venezuelan soil, possibly establishing the most sweeping restrictions

on transgenic crops in the Western Hemisphere. Though full details of

the administration's policy on genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

are still forthcoming, the statement by President Chavez will lead

most immediately to the cancellation of a contract that Venezuela had

negotiated with the U.S.-based Monsanto Corporation.

>

> Before a recent international gathering of supporters in Caracas,

President Chavez admonished genetically engineered crops as contrary

to interests and needs of the nation's farmers and farmworkers. He

then zeroed in on Monsanto's plans to plant up to 500,000 acres of

transgenic soybeans in Venezuela.
