An Assessment of China ’s Market in Regards to Genetically Modified Food This paper will provide an overview of the potential market for genetically Modified Food (GMF) in China. The China Genetically Modified food market is rapidly becoming one of the largest in terms of production‚ consumption‚ export and import prospects. China has the largest population in the world. It is home to 1.3 billion people or 20% of the world ’s total population and is likely to exceed 1.4 billion by 2050 (Population

GMOs have a multitude of applications‚ I will focus primarily on GMO technology used to grow and develop food crops and the growing controversy surrounding the practice. According to National Agricultural Statistics Service (2010)‚ over 80% of all soybeans and the majority of all corn produced in the United States is genetically modified‚ and we have been eating foods containing GMOs for at least a decade. About 75% of all processed foods (snack foods‚ crackers‚ breakfast cereals‚ cooking oils‚ and

The intervention group showed the change of 2.80 kg in body weight after two months supplementation compared to 1.44 kg in the control group. Thus‚ the provision of fermented soybean increased body weight gain of 1.36 kg in the intervention group. In addition‚ it was also found that the BMI gain of the intervention group was higher than the control group. These results are similar to the results of a nutritional supplementation
