Egypt Bans GM Food

CAIRO (Reuters) – Any agricultural imports to Egypt must have a certificate from the country of origin that the product is not genetically modified and the rule will also apply to Egyptian exports, the official news agency said on Wednesday.

The debate in Egypt over food quality has become politically heated after some Russian wheat was rejected over quality concerns. Members of parliament have been calling for stricter rules and greater agricultural self sufficiency.

I suspect there will be a lot of lobbying against this move but I hope the Egyptians stand firm. The aim of the GM food companies is to control the world's food supply thereby holding both farmers and countries hostage to increasing prices for sterile seeds.
