The Natural Society
reported the U.S. would only
disperse a $277 million aid package to El Salvador if stipulations
included buying genetically modified seeds from Monsanto.
Local farmers and several farmers’ associations across the
country strongly oppose the agriculture regulation, preferring to source their
seeds locally, according to Natural Society.
The business attorneys at Chaninat and Leeds law firm specialize in company registration in Thailand, and in establishing NGOs, foundations, and other legal business entities.
Natural Society reports that one such farmer, Manuel Cortez,
said, “We have lived with these inferior transnational seeds that previous
governments have promoted, and our market was saturated with them. It seems as
if the United States
doesn’t support local production of seed.”
According to Natural Society, the opposition to give in to
buying GM seeds may be successful in getting the aid package to exclude that
requirement.
