China has officially allowed the import of genetically modified soybean varieties of Bayer CropScience after seven years of inspections. The company said that it expects to soon receive permission for other grains.

Bayer has received the certificate of China on import of soybean varieties LL55 Liberty Link, which was derived in order to help farmers to control weeds. The company representative said that the full commercial launch of sorts is planned in 2015.

Slow legislative regulatory process in Beijing was the result of the growing concern of consumers about the safety of GM products in China and fears of some state officials about excessive dependence on the U.S. food supply. The delay has raised questions about future investment companies producing seeds in studies of GM seeds, which can take about 10 years and $150 million

Minister of agriculture of the USA Is Vilsack last week reported that China has allowed the import of manufactured in the USA varieties of GM corn Agrisure Viptera developed by the Swiss company Syngenta, and delivery of GM soybean, developed by Bayer and DuPont Pioneer. However, the company has not received official notification from China.

Syngenta announced that have not received official notification of the permission varieties Viptera, known as MIR 162.

Bayer was not released on the market soybeans LL55 as they waited for permission from China, the world's leading importer of seed oil crops.

On approval of new varieties of GM crops Beijing took more time. Chinese ports in November 2013 began to refuse to accept American import corn because it contained a mixture of corn MIR 162, approved for production in the U.S. but banned in China.

Grain traders Cargill Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland Co, along with dozens of farmers sued by Syngenta MIR 162, demanding compensation for the hundreds of millions of dollars of losses due to failures.

China is a major market for American agricultural business seed and world grain traders valued at $12 billion Two years ago and the export of soybeans from the U.S. to China amounted to 60%, the export of corn and 12%. Almost 90% of U.S. corn is genetically modified, according to the Ministry of agriculture of the USA, as farmers prefer technology that helps to eliminate weeds and control pests.
