With GM wheat trials going on in the country, this is all Australian farmers need after the GM contamination of their non-GM canola.

"A mountain of it," was how Pete Macsmith from Macsmith Milling in New South Wales described the large number of inquiries from concerned overseas customers following the identification of the GM canola contamination an Australian export shipment.

Now Peter England reports on a study on GM grains, commissioned by Biotechnology Australia, that for Asian miller: "The negatives for GM would be along the lines of loss of their markets or long-term health issues."

Asian flour mills say they are unlikely to buy Australian genetically-modified (GM) wheat because it would affect their ability to sell to their markets.

They have given their views to a study on GM grains, commissioned by Biotechnology Australia.

Victorian consultant Peter England has presented his findings on Asian attitudes to a conference in Canberra.

"The negatives for GM would be along the lines of loss of their markets or long-term health issues," he said.

"And the benefits they see are either no benefits or flour yield improvements or quality of flours."

2.Orange council takes stand against GM crops

Orange City Council has declared itself a 'genetically modified (GM) crop free' area.

Councillor Jeremy Buckingham moved the motion at the last council meeting because he says many people are concerned about the long-term effects of genetically modified organisms on the environment.

Councillor Buckingham says Orange has followed the example of many councils across New South Wales, including Cabonne and Forbes.

"There's not much, if any, cropping going on in the Orange local government area, but we border Cabonne and there's a lot of potential for GMOs [genetically modified organisms] to be grown there because it's a canola growing area," Cr Buckingham said.

"So it's just a symbolic gesture that says the people of Orange are still concerned and we want to see more rigorous testing and we want to find out what exactly it does mean to the community if GMOs are in food chain."
