Soybean growers unified in biotech message

In the global marketplace – competition between nations is fierce to get a piece of the soybean market in China.  This week, several of those suppliers are putting aside their differences to meet with Chinese officials to talk about biotechnology.

American Soybean Association president and Iowa farmer Ray Gaesser is one of the farmers meeting this week.

He says that while they are competitors, they are all farmers and want to provide more for their customers.  “As farmers we’re confident in the technology,” he says.  “We’re confident there will be an improvement in supply and certainty in the supply of soybeans to everyone around the world.”

Members of the American Soybean Association and the United Soybean Board along with the United States Soybean Export Council and members of the International Soybean Growers Alliance are in Beijing this week meeting with Chinese officials.
