Baybars said that genetically modified seeds
are usually used for forage crops, such as corn, but are not planted in Jordan.
The Monsanto company is the first
genetically modified seed producer; it carries out its activities in North
America and South American countries, and did not plant in Jordan because it
needs thousands of hectares, according to Baybars.
He said that Jordan takes strict measures to
prevent importing genetically modified seeds, along with countries of the
EU and the
Arab Gulf.
Jordan started to produce all kinds of seeds
locally and no longer imports them, he stressed.
