ABSTRACT

In 2010, 184 Genetically Modified (GM – see glossary) events, representing 24 crops have already received worldwide regulatory approval. To date, 29 countries have cultivated GM crops, whereas 59 countries have granted regulatory approvals for their import for food and feed use and release into the environment. The six main countries cultivating GM crops are USA, Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada and China. In the EU the cultivation area of biotech crops amounts only 0,1%of the cultivation area reaching 125 million hectares in 25 countries (Stein & Rodriguez-Cerezo, 2009). The most important biotech crop is soybean (50% of the biotech crops cultivation area), followed by maize (31%), cotton (14%) and oilseed rape (4%) (James, 2010).
