• <strong>AFMA</strong> supports the policy and procedure for the evaluation<br />

of GMO maize, other gra<strong>in</strong>s and oilseeds to ensure that it<br />

would not be harmful to the environment, humans or<br />

animals<br />

• SA animal feed relies heavily on imported commodities (high<br />

<strong>in</strong> GMO’s)<br />

• GMO-free animal feed will be difficult to source <strong>in</strong> SA<br />

• Approval still needed for stacked events
