Demand far exceeds its own output. Soybean must be imported
At a press conference of the CPPCC held yesterday, Chen Xiwen, deputy head of the Central Rural Work Leading Group, said in response to a question about genetically modified foods that last year China imported 58.38 million tons of soybeans, most of which were genetically modified soybeans; genetically modified substances It is found in proteins, and because soybean oil is pure fat, soybean oil does not contain genetically modified substances. In addition, certain imported genetically modified agricultural products are "unavoidable" for quite some time.
Soybean oil does not contain genetically modified substances
Yesterday, a reporter asked whether China allowed the import of genetically modified foods. Chen Xiwen said that China has been importing genetically modified agricultural products for the past few years. China is also a country with a large scale of growing genetically modified agricultural products in the world, but it is mainly large in cotton and not in food. on.
According to him, China's imports of genetically modified agricultural products are mainly concentrated on soybeans. Last year, China imported 58.38 million tons of soybeans, the vast majority of which were genetically modified soybeans, mainly from the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. Most of the imported soybeans are used for two purposes, that is, cakes after oil extraction and oil extraction.
When talking about the public's concern about the safety of genetically modified genes, Chen Xiwen said that the issue itself has very strong arguments in the academic world. No one can get enough evidence to say that it is absolutely safe or absolutely insecure. He said that at least until now, he personally has not heard any safety problems due to the consumption of genetically modified agricultural products.
Chen Xiwen also stated that because the genetically modified substance is present in proteins, it is a genetically modified substance that is distributed on the DNA strand in the nucleus and is itself a protein. “The fat we eat is vegetable oil or soybean oil because it is pure fat, so it does not contain protein material and does not contain genetically modified substances.â€
He said that China's import of certain genetically modified agricultural products is "unavoidable" for quite some time. China’s own soybean production is 13 million to 14 million tons, but the demand exceeds 70 million tons. Soybean alone must be imported in the future.
