What is non-GMO soybean

I believe everyone must have heard of non-GMO soybeans and GMO soybeans. Although we often hear the name of non-GMO soybeans, many friends still don’t know what non-GMO soybeans are and what GMO soybeans are. Below we will give you some knowledge about non-GMO soybeans, so that you will know how to distinguish non-GMO soybeans from GMO soybeans in your life.

Non-GMO soybeans are produced through genetic changes that are selected through the survival of the fittest in nature. This eliminates the potential harm that genetically modified foods may cause to the human body. Long-term consumption, safe and reliable.

In 2013, Heilongjiang's non-GMO soybean industry encountered a crisis. According to relevant experts, if no rescue measures are taken, China's non-GMO soybeans may disappear within a few years.

Genetically modified soybeans refer to soybeans that have genes that exhibit excellent traits in certain species and are transferred into the genomes of animals, plants, and microorganisms that can meet human survival needs, so that the species can exhibit the excellent traits that they themselves lack. During the gene transfer process, due to unforeseen gene mutations, many factors may be transformed into toxic proteins that are harmful to the human body. So this involves the safety issue of GMOs. The Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have stated that genetically modified foods may pose environmental and health risks, and that the artificial transplantation of foreign genes may cause "unintended consequences" in organisms.

Due to the massive import of foreign soybeans and other reasons, China's soybean industry is facing a serious crisis, and 90% of non-GMO soybean processing companies in Heilongjiang Province have stopped production due to losses. According to experts, if no rescue measures are taken, China's non-GMO soybeans may disappear within a few years. If China relies entirely on imports for soybeans, the impact on the prices of grain, oil, feed, and agricultural and sideline products will be immeasurable.

As farmers abandon soybean planting, Heilongjiang Province's non-GMO soybean industry is facing an unprecedented crisis. According to statistics from the Heilongjiang Soybean Association, there are 88 oil processing companies in the province with a daily processing capacity of more than 200 tons, and an annual processing capacity of about 14.5 million tons. However, more than 90% of the current non-GMO soybean processing companies have stopped production, and the actual processing volume is only about 2 million tons. Non-GMO soybean processing companies are on the verge of "collective bankruptcy."

In the above article, we introduced what non-GMO soybeans are. We know that non-GMO soybeans are very safe and healthy, so we can eat more non-GMO soybeans in our daily lives. I hope the information above is helpful to you.
