Global cultivation area of ​​genetically modified crops hits a new high
According to the latest statistics of the International Agricultural Biotechnology Application Service Organization, the global planting area of ​​genetically modified crops reached 189.8 million hectares in 2017, a record high since the commercial planting of genetically modified crops began in 1996.
Deng Bingxiang, Chairman of the Council of the International Agricultural Biotechnology Application Service Organization, said at the "High-level Seminar on Crop Biological Breeding and Industrialization · 2018" held in Beijing on the 11th that in 2017, 24 countries and regions in the world planted genetically modified crops, compared with 2016. The annual growth rate is 3%, 112 times that of 1996.
Genetic modification is the use of modern biological technology to artificially separate the fine genes of an organism into the genome of another organism, thereby improving the original traits of the organism or endowing it with new fine traits.
At present, the planting area of ​​genetically modified soybeans has reached 94.1 million hectares, accounting for half of the total planting area of ​​genetically modified crops, followed by corn (59.7 million hectares), cotton (24.21 million hectares) and rape (10.2 million hectares). From the perspective of the proportion of genetically modified crops in the total planted area of ​​the crop, in 2017, genetically modified soybeans accounted for 77%, genetically modified cotton accounted for 80%, genetically modified corn accounted for 32%, and genetically modified rape accounted for 30%.
Varieties of genetically modified crops are becoming more and more abundant, genetically modified alfalfa, sugar beet, papaya, pumpkin, eggplant, potatoes, apples, etc. have been listed. Deng Bingxiang said that the genetically modified pink pineapple planted in Costa Rica is not only attractive in color, but also sweet in taste regardless of whether the light is sufficient; insect-resistant genetically modified eggplants are welcomed by Bangladeshi farmers. The planting area of ​​genetically modified eggplants in 2017 is higher than the previous one The annual growth rate is 242%.
From the perspective of different countries, the United States is the largest planting of genetically modified crops, with an area of ​​75 million hectares planted in 2017, followed by Brazil (50.2 million hectares), Argentina (23.6 million hectares), Canada (13.1 million hectares) and India (11.4 million Hectares), the planted area of ​​these five countries accounted for 91.3% of the global total planted area. The planted area of ​​genetically modified crops in North America accounts for 46% of the world's total planted area, Latin America accounts for 42%, Asia accounts for 10%, and Europe accounts for only 0.5%.
The planted area of ​​genetically modified crops in China is 2.8 million hectares, ranking eighth in the world. Different from the United States planting corn, soybeans, cotton, rape, sugar beet, alfalfa, potato, apple and other genetically modified crops, the only genetically modified crops that are currently commercially grown in China are cotton and papaya.
Deng Bingxiang said that the commercial cultivation of genetically modified crops has never had any safety problems in the past 22 years. The characteristics of increasing production, reducing pesticide use, protecting biodiversity, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions can make food security, sustainable development, and climate change. Contribution, I believe that the global planting area of ​​genetically modified crops will further increase.
In an interview with a reporter, he said that climate change is causing frequent extreme weather today, and it is very important to develop crops with traits such as flood resistance, flood resistance, and high temperature resistance. In his motherland, Singapore, the government is investing a lot of money in researching genetically modified technologies, hoping to develop crops that do not require much space, require light and moisture, and can grow efficiently in cities.
