Corn in Thailand GMO?

[mike324]

Does anyone know here if majority of the corn grown here are GMO or non GMO corn?

GMO corn is banned but testing has revealed some contamination from GMO strains.

certainly where i live if you mention G M O no one would have a clue what you were talking about

my wife grew 10 rai recently and the buyer (lock stock and barrel) insisted on as much chemical fertilizer to be applied as possible their aim was to grow the biggest fattest corn i have ever seen they wanted weight/bulk no interest in taste looks so gmo out of the question

i would not like to have eaten it but to sell this crop this is what they want

Farmer next to us sprayed glysophate twice in the first month of his corn crop. Wouldn't non-GMO corn die?

Does that apply to GMO soy beans too in Thailand?

[ricklev]

All GMOs are illegal bit there has been some approved testing.

I think I bread somewhere though that there has been some importation of GMO soybeans for production and consumption.

I am having a dabble in corn with some help from the wife. We have a .5 rai area to try out 'Pacific Seeds 111' Pac Seed is part of the Advanta group which is in Australia, India, Thailand.

No mention of GMO products on their Advanta or Pac Seeds web sites.

I've never grown waxy corn before so I am getting excited about it!

If you buy SB's on the world market, you may end up with some, but also, you

might end up with the same with wheat or corn. You have to know your supplier's.
