China grants import approval for Syngenta's GM corn seed trait

摘要

Syngenta has announced that it had received a safety certificate for its Agrisure Viptera trait (MIR162) in genetically modified corn from China’s regulatory authorities, formally granting import approval for the MIR 162 corn. The approval covers corn grain and processing by-products, such as dried distillers grains (DDGs), for food and feed use. The Agrisure Viptera trait is a key component of Syngenta’s insect control solutions, offering growers protection against the broadest spectrum of above-ground corn pests and enabling significant crop yield gains.
