The Minister for Primary Industries and Water, David Llewellyn, announced today that Tasmania’s ban on the commercial release of genetically modified food crops will continue for at least another five years from the end of November 2009 to the end of November 2014.
“This will make the State’s primary produce even more desirable,” Mr Llewellyn said.
“Tasmania’s GMO-free status is a key factor in the Tasmanian brand and is therefore vital to Tasmania’s primary producers realising their full potential in international and interstate markets.”
