In an effort to rid the country of Monsanto’s GMO\u00a0products<\/strong>, Hungary has stepped up the pace. This looks like its going to be another slap in the face for Monsanto and other large scale agribusiness<\/a>.\u00a0A new regulation\u00a0was introduced\u00a0this March which stipulates that seeds are supposed to be checked for GMO before\u00a0they are introduced to the market. Unfortunately, some GMO seeds made it to the farmers without them knowing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost 1000 acres\u00a0of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar\u00a0said. The GMO\u00a0maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not spread from the maize, he added.<\/p>\n

Unlike several EU members, GMO\u00a0seeds are banned in Hungary<\/strong>. The checks will continue despite the fact that seed traders are obliged to make sure that their products are GMO\u00a0free, Bognar said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During their investigation, controllers have found Pioneer and Monsanto products among the seeds planted.<\/p>\n

The free movement of goods within the EU means that authorities will not investigate how the seeds arrived in Hungary but they will check where the goods can be found, Bognar\u00a0said. Regional public radio reported that the two biggest international seed producing companies are affected in the matter and GMO seeds could have been sown on up to thousands of hectares in the country<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most of the local farmers have complained since\u00a0they just discovered they were using GMO\u00a0seeds. With season already under way, it is too late to\u00a0sow\u00a0new seeds, so this years harvest has been lost.<\/p>\n

And to make things even worse for the farmers, the company that distributed the seeds in Baranya county is under liquidation. Therefore, if any compensation is paid by the international seed producers, the money will be paid primarily to that company’s creditors, rather than the farmers.<\/p>\n
