How to resolve AdBlock issue? Monsanto Company announced today that the European Commission has granted import approval for Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans.
This milestone allows for the import and food/feed use of Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans into the European Union.
The European Commission’s approval follows Monsanto’s February announcement of Chinese import approval. With both the EU and Chinese import approvals and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the final stages of review for over-the-top use, Monsanto can now look forward to a full system launch in the United States in 2017 and continues to be in a strong position to supply roughly 15 million U.S. soy acres when the selling season arrives.
A full system launch also is planned for Canadian soybean growers in 2017 given the previous Canadian regulatory approval for Roundup Xtend™ with VaporGripTM Technology and XtendiMax™ herbicide with VaporGrip Technology.
