Who buys GMO crops?
For example, if I did I couldn’t sell my beef...
Urm, so why would I?
Any soya meal or maze imported into the EU will likely be GM. The EU is very happy to import GM stuff, just not grow it.

“In 2012, the EU imported about 30 million tons of GM crops for animal” so you are almost certainly amongst the who...

Still stand by my comment. Bit like no problem importing crops treated with atrazine, methiocarb, neo-nicotinoid, paraquat...........etc......etc.......etc
Well I don’t really like, it but it is true.

Buying in any feed must be real challenge for you then because....
“According to the European Feed Manufacturers' Association (FEFAC), at least 85% of the EU's compound feed production is labelled to indicate that it contains GM or GM-derived material”
GMO is in pretty much anything we eat or our livestock eat containing soya protein and that’s just one example
Boat loads of neonic OSR fill the same crush plant in the uk that our none neonic osr sells to
Level playing field ? No bloody chance !

Well I was just answering your original question “who buys GMO crops” turns out pretty much everyone who buys compound feed, except you it would appear. There simply isn’t enough none GM soya to meet the need.
And no segregation, so even if grown as non-GM it gets put in the same heap with the GM.
A lot of food with tomato in it as well
We all eat GMO almost daily I suspect ..,..... in a country where it’s “banned”
Yep ! Utter nonsense !

Anyone going to buy two years requirements this autumn?
Anyone foolish enough to put it on a public forum?

And so, the time limit for editing passes, and it is marked on the interweb forever. Thank goodness staff can go back in time and fix stuff like this, like Dr Sam Beckett stepping into the Quantum Leap accelerator . Sigh. I miss 1992.
