World-wide biotechnology crops have achieved significant growth near historical records

Beijing, China (January 17, 2005) — Acreage of biotech crops recorded a record increase in 2004, reaching 81 million hectares (200 million acres). The International Service Organization for Agricultural Biotechnology Applications (ISAAA) today published a study prepared by the chairman and founder of the organization, Mr. Clive James. The report mentioned that in 2004, the area under cultivation of biotech crops in the world increased by 20% compared with 2003, an increase of 13.3 million hectares (32.9 million acres). The study reported that nearly 8.25 million farmers in 17 countries planted biotech crops in 2004, and the number of farmers growing biotech crops increased by 1.25 million compared to 2003. In 2003, 18 countries planted biotechnology crops. Of particular significance is the fact that 90% of the new farmers who grow biotech crops are from developing countries. In fact, this is the absolute increase of biotech crops in developing countries (7.2 million hectares) for the first time exceeding the increase in developed countries (6.1 million hectares). Mr. Clive James said: "The rapid adoption of biotechnology, especially among small-scale and resource-poor farmers, has proved that farmers and societies in both industrialized and developing countries have realized that biotechnology crops are economically and environmentally friendly. Many aspects such as health and society are beneficial. In addition, in 2004 we saw more widespread support for biotech crops, and many countries involved in the cultivation of biotech crops have significantly increased the area under cultivation of their biotech crops." The number of “biotechnology crop countries” (countries with or exceeding 50,000 hectares of biotech crops) increased from 10 to 14 in 2004, increasing Paraguay, Mexico, Spain and the Philippines, indicating more The country started using biotech crops. The number of countries that account for an important share of global biotech crops has increased from five to eight, including the United States (59% of the world total), Argentina (20%), Canada (6%), Brazil (6%) , China (5%), Paraguay (2%), India (1%). In addition, biotechnology crop countries include Mexico, Spain, the Philippines, Uruguay, Australia and Romania. In 2004, China planted 3.7 million hectares of biotech cotton, which was 32% higher than in 2003, accounting for 5% of the total biotech cotton planting area in the world. The approval of biotech rice in the short term will greatly promote the application of biotech food, feed and fiber crops worldwide. China has now provided 20% of the world's population with land accounting for 6% of the world's arable land. It is expected that it will become a pivotal force for the cultivation of biotech crops in the future. The continued growth of biotech crop applications shows that farmers all over the world have confidence in the advantages and benefits of biotech crops, especially in developing countries. Edwin Paraluman, a Philippine farmer, said that the 2003 harvest has proven that biotech corn has increased production, and crop yields have helped him better take care of his family. He said: "I have a small house. My daughter always says to me, 'Dad, please expand the house.' With biotech corn, the output per hectare has doubled, from 3.5 tons to 7 T, let me have the money to satisfy my daughter's wishes.” Similar to Mr. Paraluman’s case of increase, it can be shown why the cultivation area of ​​biotech crops in developing countries has increased by 35%, which is a significant increase compared with the 13% increase in industrialized countries. increase. For the first time, the area under cultivation of biotech crops in developing countries exceeds one-third of the total area under cultivation of biotech crops in the world. James said that the five major developing countries? China, India, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa? will greatly influence the global application and acceptance of future biotech crops. “The earlier desire for biotechnology has been realized. Biotech crops will now enter a new period of development with good momentum.” The European Union’s approval of two biotech maize imports and the continuous progress of biotechnology in China have led to the development of biotech crops. Optimistic. China may approve the cultivation of biotech rice in 2005, which will declare that the world’s most important food crops have begun to adopt biotechnology and have had an important impact on the worldwide acceptance of biotech food, feed, and fiber crops. The International Service Organization for Agricultural Biotechnology Applications predicts that by the end of 2010, 15 million farmers in up to 30 countries around the world will plant biotech crops. The report was sponsored by Fondazione Bussolera Branca of Italy and the Rockefiro Foundation of the United States. An abstract of the report can be found on the website.
