Argentina Opposes Monsanto's Charge to Charge GM Soybean Patents

The Argentinean agricultural group opposed Monsanto's collection of royalties for genetically modified soybeans because Monsanto plans to require Argentine exporters to pay royalties to Monsanto for genetically modified soybeans exported overseas. The foreign media reported on December 30 that Argentina has already had a third agricultural group that has expressed its opposition to a plan put forward by Monsanto, a US biotech giant. This plan requires Argentine exporters to pay patents to Monsanto for genetically modified soybeans exported overseas. usage fee. The Argentine Cooperative Agricultural Union expressed its opposition to this charge, claiming that this charge was too arbitrary and that it was not conducive to the consensus reached by other parties on the payment of royalties. Last week (December 20-24), the Argentinean rural community, Argentina’s oldest agricultural group, stated that it would protect the interests of growers through laws. The group stated that although royalties should be paid, they should not be paid as licensing fees for food sales. As another agricultural group with great influence, the Argentine Agricultural Union also expressed its opposition to Monsanto’s proposal. Argentine growers generally use genetically modified soybean seeds developed by Monsanto, but often do not pay any royalties. In order to make up for the loss, Monsanto hopes to initially charge 2% of the soybeans exported per ton, eventually raising the fees to 3%. According to the current soybean market price, exporters will have to pay $3 to $4.50 per ton for soybean exports from March 2005. The Ministry of Agriculture of Argentina plans to hold a meeting with Monsandu and agricultural groups on January 14, 2005 to discuss the matter. Monsanto has used a similar fee system in Brazil and Paraguay, and local exporters pay $3.5 and $3/ton for the export of genetically modified soybeans. Monsanto stated that these costs are expected to double in 2005. Nearly 95% of Argentina's soybeans are genetically modified, and most farmers use Monsanto's genetically modified glyphosate-resistant soybean seeds. These seeds can tolerate Monsanto's herbicides.
