WHY MARKETS REJECT GE CROPS
Our markets have spoken - consumers don’t want GE crops. New Zealand’s reputation for producing natural, GMO-free food is a critical advantage in global markets.
International buyers prefer non-GE products
Many premium export markets specifically demand GMO-free certification.
GE contamination could harm New Zealand’s reputation and market share.
Who benefits from GE crops?
The only real winners appear to be:
Patent-holding scientists.
Biotech venture capital firms profiting from GE innovations.
It's a question of economics
Why risk our premium markets and economic advantage for uncertain benefits? The stakes are too high to justify rushing into GMO adoption.
