Bioceres Crop Solutions Receives Green Light for Cultivation of Drought Tolerant HB4 Wheat in the United States
August 28 2024 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: BIOX) announced today
that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has
favorably concluded its Regulatory Status Review (RSR) for HB4
wheat technology. The announcement can be found here:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotech-regulatory-status/regulatory-status-review-table.
The USDA, through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), reviewed HB4 wheat and concluded that it does not pose an
increased plant pest risk relative to comparator wheat plants. As
such, it is not subject to regulations under the 7 CFR part 340 for
organisms modified or produced through genetic engineering.
The determination clears the U.S. market for production of HB4
wheat and complements the FDA’s previously obtained favorable
review for food and feed use. The United States is the fourth
largest wheat producer in the world ― the largest in the Americas ―
and is the fourth country in the world to greenlight production of
HB4 wheat, following Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Nigeria, Thailand,
Indonesia, Colombia and Chile have all approved the technology for
food and feed use. In Australia, an important wheat producing
geography that is increasingly prone to water deficits, the company
has recently received a license to undertake field trials to gather
the necessary data for an eventual production application as
well.
The company will provide further details on its HB4 wheat
platform during its upcoming Earnings Call, to be held on Tuesday,
September 10th at 8:30 a.m. EST.
