China: New Genetically Modified Corn and Soybean Variety Registration List Published
On March 19, 2024, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) National Crop Variety Registration Committee (CNCVRC) published a second variety registration list for genetically modified (GM) corn and soybeans. The list includes 27 GM corn varieties and three GM soybean varieties and is open for public comment for 30 days, or until April 17, 2024. The new list follows the PRC’s initial publication of a variety registration list for GM corn and soybeans in October 2023. Once finalized, the newly listed GM corn and soybean varieties will be eligible for planting in approved areas. This report provides an unofficial translation of CNCVRC’s announcement, the list of GM corn and soybean varieties that have passed preliminary review, and the yield performance of these varieties.
