Approval has been granted for genetically modified (GM) canola to be grown commercially in NSW, however limited seed stocks means there will be a small crop, Primary Industries Minister, Ian Macdonald, says. Mr Macdonald approved the commercial production of GM canola following advice from the NSW Expert Committee on Gene Technology. It follows the decision by the Iemma State Government late last year to amend legislation to allow commercial production of GM crops under strict conditions.
