Serbia got its first standard and quality label products that are GMO free and of domestic origin. Marking the first domestic non-genetically modified products has been a major step to preserve domestic production of non-GMO soybeans, and consumers are finally getting the right choices- it is the main message from the conference in the Serbian Chamber of Commerce.
The aim of the conference organised by the International Association of Danube Soya and SCC is to get domestic professional public and business representatives acquainted with the character and values of the first standards and codes of non-GMO quality and domestic origin – Danube Soya, which is officially supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection. State Secretary at the Ministry of Trade Vesna Kovač pointed out that the high level of consumer protection is extremely important. Marija Kalentić, regional director of “Danube Soya” says “Soy is the main ingredient of animal nutrition, but Serbia has enough of its non-GMO soybeans and for the first time with the Danube Soya standards it is given an opportunity to highlight the quality of the non-GMO label and the domestic origin, which is becoming popular in the the world “.
