Cargill Inc began selling a variety of genetically modified maize Syngenta AG, which previously caused damage to American grain trade, because now China has allowed the import of this variety.

Cargill, one of the major American grain exporters, began to sell the seeds, containing features Agrisure Viptera last month, and abolished the requirement that farmers had previously notified the company about the possible content in the maize supply Viptera, said a company representative.

Giant agriculture has simplified its policy towards Viptera corn after filing a lawsuit against the company Syngenta AG regarding this variety last year, when China banned the import of genetically modified varieties.

The Cargill has adjusted its policy after the Swiss company Syngenta has provided written confirmation that Beijing has allowed the import of Viptera corn.

In November 2013, China began to refuse the supply of American corn, containing a variety Viptera, making Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland Co and dozens of farmers file suit against Syngenta for damages.

David MacLennan, CEO, Cargill, last week said that the cancellation of supply has caused the company great financial damage.

In April 2014 the national Association of seed and Feed has estimated that the abolition of supply containing a variety MIR 162, cost to American industry of agriculture at least $1 billion

Syngenta stated that litigation is sort Viptera are unfounded.

Previously, Cargill has introduced a requirement that farmers were provided notice of the contents in maize supply Viptera, in an attempt to prevent the accidental shipment of grain, containing variety, also known as MIR 162, for illicit markets.

Revised the company's policy in respect of Viptera corn in line with the practice of the company to adopt varieties that received permission for all key U.S. export markets, told customers Cargill in the notice.

Trader of raw materials still refuses to accept another variety of GM corn called Duracade developed by Syngenta, because China did not allow its import.

The adoption of Cargill corn Viptera without prior notice does not mean that the American industry for the shipment of grain recovered after last year's crash, said the lawyers, coordinating claims of certain farmers against Syngenta.
