    Low levels of genetically modified crops in international food and feed trade: FAO international survey and economic analysis
    Low levels of GM crops and trade
    2014

    The low level presence (LLP) and adventitious presence (AP) of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in internationally traded food crops have been a major issue of discussion recently. Asynchronous Approvals (AA) and zero tolerance policy have been reported to have trade diversion effects by some of the exporters. Therefore, FAO conducted a survey to evaluate the issue and examine the impact of LLP on trade flow. The survey was sent to national government organizations through FAO Representation s (FAORs), Codex contact points, and individual contacts in early 2013. Almost half of the respondents (47 percent) indicated that they produce GM crops for research or commercial use. 78 percent of respondents indicated that they have a GMO regulation; however, 22 percent either don’t have or are planning to have regulations in the future. High level of regional guidelines is a critical issue in food safety regulations worldwide. 37 percent of the respondents indicated that they have a LLP thre shold at least for one group of product (feed). The remaining 63 percent do not have any threshold limit for LLP related imports. Only 33 percent of the respondents indicated that they have a technical capacity to detect GMOs in imports.

    The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible.

    An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products

    Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.
