BUSINESS SA has called for the state ban on genetically modified crops to be lifted for the sake of the food industry and consumers. SA is the only mainland state to have a legal ban on GM commercial crop production and crop trials. Business SA chief executive Peter Vaughan says the ban is holding back our food industry. ”It is essential that our food-processing sector implements some key initiatives to ensure our long-term contribution to the global food supply chain,” he said.
