Illegal GE Corn Cultivation Investigation in Northeast China

From May to December 2015, Greenpeace East Asia carried out desktop research and field surveys on corn samples from Liaoning province, one of China’s major corn production areas. The investigation discovered that large quantities of GE (genetically engineered) corn are being grown illegally in the city prefectures of Shenyang, Jinzhou and Fuxin. It is very likely that much of the illegal GE corn has already entered grain storage warehouses and wholesale markets across the country, ultimately ending up in citizens’ food.
