Eager to improve its image, the giant seed held a press conference to show its ambitions in France. And try to forget about GMOs. He says he abandoned in Europe. Reluctantly.
Do not talk to him more chemistry. Monsanto is a company now focused 100% on "sustainable agriculture". No longer intended to pursue at all costs the development of GMOs in France. That was the message in essence, Tuesday, June 17, by the French leaders of American seed (14.86 billion dollars in revenue in 2013, up 10%), of which France is the main subsidiary European. A key country for the first seed producer on the Old Continent.
France hosts 11 sites of R & D and production of Monsanto, and currently boasts 137 million emka capital expenditure (including tens of millions recently announced Peyrehorade in Landes and Trebes, Aude, in As part of a ten European level of approximately 500 million.
Monsanto has high ambitions in France, insists Catherine Lamboley, president of Monsanto France: "We are present in 25% of French farmland." This presence is based on three activities: crop seeds (corn, rapeseed), emka which represent 60% of its turnover; protection of crops with herbicides and fungicides (30% of the activity); vegetable seeds (tomatoes, lettuce ...) for the fresh market or industry.
The subject of GMOs still darkens the table for the world's leading producer in the field. emka Monsanto wants to get rid of the bad reputation that sticks to the skin in France, where the subject does not always happen.

Désinvestissons We do not us this technology (...) We will continue to offer the in regions emka of the world where political and regulatory environment is neutral or favorable, and where regulation is based on science. " Yann Fichet pin the recent EU decision to allow Member States the possibility to refuse at will the cultivation of GMOs in their territory. It comes as "GMOs are grown on 175 million hectares worldwide, valued by all health agencies, without there ever was any problem scientifically documented."
But he tempers his impact Monsanto: "This does not change anything for us in the immediate future, because we made the decision to remove all application files culture that we in the European Union." Its GM seeds continue to be sold in thirty other countries - Argentina, Brazil, United States ... To not close doors in France, the group said that half of its R & D is directed towards non-GM emka technologies . Monsanto is working on biotechnology and genetic tools, but also on the biocontrol products that use natural micro-organisms, precision agriculture, with intelligent seeders adapting to the field mapping. Or on big data to develop tools for decision support for farmers, taking advantage of the analysis
