Taiwan: School Health Act Amendment Encouraging Non-GE Soybean Imports

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On December 14, Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan amended legislation to withdraw genetically engineered (GE) food products from school meals. Parents will likely bear the cost of this policy as will the Ministry of Education with budget dedicated to meal subsidies increasing. The demand for non-GE soybeans is expected to rise, though, currently less than 3% of U.S. soybean exports to Taiwan are non-GE. Post is concerned with the increasing, anti-GE rhetoric.
