<pre>Hello,
I am an organic fruits grower (apples, cherries, plums, aplicots) in
southern French Alps. I also work as technical adviser for organic farmers
of the area. Organic olive oil is slowly developing (the gold medal for the
best olive oil at the Paris "Salon International d'Agriculture" this year
was an organic olive oil from my area (Rene Chabot)).

I wanted to ask a question on this list :
Is there any GMO research program about olive oil production aound the world
?
If so, do you about which subject ?
Thank you for your answers.

<pre>Dear Gregoire

At this point of time there is no recognised program on Olive GMOs.

GMOsfor all species has met resistance and now in Australia apart from
minor components all foods with GMOs have to be labelled
