Monsanto has received final regulatory approval in Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan for its second-generation soybean technology, Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ (MON 89788). These approvals represent significant progress toward the commercialization of this new higher-yielding soybean technology.
“Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans are poised to deliver a new yield advantage to U.S. farmers and pave the way for the development of stacked-trait offerings in this oilseed crop,” said Robert T. Fraley, Ph.D., chief technology officer and executive vice president of Monsanto Company. “Importantly, this new soybean product is expected to offer farmers a novel way to get more yield out of a single acre of land, a critical step as farmers work to meet the growing food and fuel demands of our world.”
These latest regulatory approvals bring Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans one step closer to farmers’ fields. Read here for more information about U.S. and Canada regulatory approvals, gained in July 2007.
