Zimbabwe eases GM stance
|
|
|
|
Zimbabwe has dropped objections to accepting genetically modified (GM) grain
|
|
so that urgently-needed food aid can be delivered, says the UN food agency.
|
|
The executive director of the World Food Programme, James Morris, said
|
|
Zimbabwe's decision would send an important message to other countries in
|
|
the region which have refused food aid because it might contain GM grain.
|
|
Until now, Zimbabwe had said it would only allow aid workers to distribute
|
|
ground maize to allay fears that GM grain could be planted.
|
|
But a Zimbabwean minister says the government has now set up a system of
|
|
checks to ensure the grain will not enter the eco-system.
|
|
There have been fears that Southern African nations could lose lucrative
|
|
export markets in Europe if they cannot certify that their crops are
|
|
GM-free.
|
|
Aid
|
|
Mr Morris announced the policy reversal after talks in Harare with
|
|
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
|
|
"The fact that they have now concluded that they are comfortable in
|
|
accepting GM crops or commodities will be an important signal to other
|
|
countries in the region," Mr Morris told journalists.
|
|
"It will enable us to do our job," he said.
|
|
Aid workers say up to 13 million people in seven countries in Southern
|
|
Africa face famine. In Zimbabwe which was once the bread basket of the
|
|
region, some six million people are estimated to need food aid.
|
|
The WFP says it already has aid pledges for about half of the 600,000 tonnes
|
|
of food it intends to bring into Zimbabwe in the next few months.
|
|
The government blames the shortages solely on drought, but the government's
|
|
campaign to transfer land from large scale commercial white farmers has
|
|
worsened the situation, say many donors.
|
|
Lost markets
|
|
The GM row has complicated relief efforts across the region.
|
|
Zambia's president is refusing to overturn his ban on GM food aid, labelling
|
|
it as 'poison' .
|
|
Deals to mill GM food before being distributed, so that it could not be
|
|
planted, have placated fears in Malawi and Mozambique.
|
|
United States aid officials deny that the food is unsafe, pointing out that
|
|
Americans eat GM maize every day.
|
|
The World Health Organisation has certified the grain for human consumption
|
|
and says it does not constitute a danger to people's health.
