On February 9 NAEGA joined the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) in a letter to the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service regarding the responsible commercialization of Nuseed event B0050-027. NAEGA, NGFA and NOPA “do not support commercialization prior to export market approvals and consider a “pre-commercial release” no different than a product commercialization, since the potential risks and impacts are the same.” The letter urges “agricultural biotechnology developers to fully bear the risks and liabilities associated with any commercialization of their products should market disruptions occur prior to obtaining approvals in U.S. export markets
