GM olive look alike
<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>It has been suggested to me that the threat to the olive oil industry is not from GM olive trees but from canola or some other oil seed crop that has the olive oil gene spliced into it. In the market olive oil - even the worse grades of sansa mix fetch a price about double that of other oils. As annual crops a olive look alike would be quick to breed and as an annual crop would pay royalty each year to the breeder. Of course if this were to happen it would be like so much else in the GM story and the premium for olive oil look alike would quickly disappear as the market was flooded with it. The oil seed producers would be back to where they were before and the market for low grade olive oil would be destroyed and the GM companies would have a nice fat profit.

<pre>Hi Brian are you referring to the high oleic acid (90%) type of canola? Research into new soy beans has also provided high oleic acid soy oil. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] </pre> </td></tr></table> |
