This move makes Brazil the first country in the world to approve the import of genetically modified wheat flour
.
Argentina is the largest wheat producer in South America, and Brazil is the main importer of its flour
.
BH4 wheat was developed in cooperation with the Argentine Biotechnology Company and the Litoro National Institute of Agricultural Biotechnology of the National University of Santa Fe, Argentina
.
Last year, this genetically modified wheat was approved to be grown in Argentina.
Its main advantage lies in its strong drought tolerance.
Some experts believe that this feature is essential to some areas in Brazil, helping to expand supply, achieve self-sufficiency and ensure food security.
Safe, because Brazil’s agricultural products still depend on external supplies
.
In addition, BH4 wheat can tolerate the herbicide glufosinate

Bioceres stated that Argentina is currently planting approximately 55,000 hectares of HB4 wheat.
After obtaining regulatory approval, the company may now seek to expand the production of this crop in the next planting season

Bioceres said in a statement: "This approval is an important step towards establishing a climate-resilient agricultural system that uses wheat as a key component of crop rotation

This approval has caused a lot of controversy in Brazil, because it has been challenged by various departments
.
One of the opponents of genetically modified winter grains is the Brazilian Wheat Industry Association (Abitrigo), which represents the wheat flour and derivative industries

Abitrigo said in an official statement: "Despite the strong opposition from the international market in the past 20 years, unfortunately, Brazil will become the first country in the world to approve the use of genetically modified wheat
.
This decision will be developed in the face of the market and the international community.
The background is full of uncertainty and it is based on standards that affect safety, without further research on market conditions and consumer behavior,"

According to the organization, “the possible impact on the export of Brazilian by-products (pasta, biscuits and bread) and the unpredictable damage to the image of agribusiness cannot be ignored
.
According to Brazilian legislation, Abitrigo will require the President of the Republic to immediately Convene a National Biosafety Committee composed of several ministers to analyze the impact of Argentine genetically modified wheat on the Brazilian market in a more comprehensive manner

Abitrigo stated that it will analyze the decision to take preventive measures to suspend the implementation of CTNBio until the National Biosafety Commission issues a statement
