Imports of yellow maize await fresh GMO rule changes

Animal feed manufacturers will have to wait longer before they can import yellow maize as the review made on the quality of the commodity has been sent to the Attorney General’s office for concurrence even as the importation window has been extended.

The government in November last year opened a six-month window for the importation of yellow maize but none was shipped in because the processors said they could not source the commodity that is 100 percent pure in terms of GMO content.
