GM POTATO VARIETY MEETS CRITERIA FOR SOUTH KOREA IMPORTS

IMPORT APPROVAL PROCESS BEING REVISITED

THE South Korean government is revisiting the import approval process for a genetically-modified organism (GMO) potato developed in the United States.

The Rural Development Administration (RDA), led by Commissioner Kwon Jae-han, has assessed that a GMO potato variety meets environmental safety standards, removing a barrier to its import.

This decision coincides with renewed trade pressure from the USA, leading to concerns about the ease of entry for American GMO potatoes into South Korea.
