The Tasmanian Greens today said that the decision by Roberts to discontinue selling canola seed into the Tasmanian market was a clear signal that contamination of canola seed in Australia was a real issue for other states and that the biotech companies who promote Genetically Engineered crops and boast that GE crops and seeds can be securely segregated have misled the producers and consumers of Australia. Greens Shadow Primary Industries spokesperson Kim Booth said that the upside of Roberts withdrawal was that there was a clear market opportunity for Tasmanian growers to become a hub of GE-free canola seed production
