Biotechnology Zimbabwe have to learn from China

Biotechnology Zimbabwe have to lea from China Have you heard that said you can not bite the hand that feeds you?. shunned the West for oppressing his people, the President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe has been in China for the camaraderie. Two weeks ago, Mugabe and his lieutenants in China - on a begging mission. Your country, the economy is in a chaos, which saw Mugabe deal with China to save his rapidly sinking ship. As expected, China - a rapidly growing economy, is committed to supporting Mugabe. Help is only, which means that Zimbabweans' problems are far from over. Which now awaits Zimbabwe - Africa once the food basket? Agriculture, the backbone of 'economy of Zimbabwe, for which one is his last punishment. Outdated agricultural policies, agriculture obsolete technology, in conjunction with Bad policy is largely to blame for the economic down tu. Why should not Zimbabwe, now, the benefits of their new freedom - China, the recovery of its agriculture? China, for example, is and will continue to benefit from mode biotechnology. Zimbabwe, in a similar way could benefit hugely if the courts biotechnology. This would in itself sufficient in food and supplies to stop the rescue! Monetary flyers, such as President Mugabe's desire is only stop gap are food problems in Zimbabwe. China is now the center of biotechnology in Asia. Since the installation of the first genetically modified crop in U. S. Fifteen years ago, China has aggressively pursued the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) plants. So far, it has given regulatory approval for eight varieties of biotech co, seven types of rapeseed and soybeans. As a result, China can feed its more than 1 billion people without outside help. China is no longer on the list of countries, the United Nations (UN) are of the opinion, in need of food assistance. In a very short period of time, China has its agriculture, effectively by the recipient of food aid to a donor. Admirable achievement! The success of China in the field of biotechnology can be attributed to a number of factors. One, China, unlike many African countries, has refused to politicize the issue of genetically modified foods. It works in close collaboration with the United States to promote a solution based on solid scientific knowledge at the GM approvals. This is despite the presence of significant political differences between the two countries. Two, China on training enthusiasm of first-class scientists on mode biotechnology has been stopped. It has billions of dollars in science and technology education. Consequently, the country is now able to make informed decisions about genetically modified food. Now that Zimbabwe is with China, can not use this new knowledge for the modeization of agriculture? Zimbabwe remains firmly opposed to genetically modified foods, without legitimate reason. Also a time like this, when he and severe food shortages, Zimbabwe would not allow food aid laced with genetically modified organisms into its territory. Relief organizations are required to produce GMO certificates to certify that food into the country is GM free. What is needed? Many times, African countries have agreed to use as guinea pigs by biotech companies! This is ridiculous. China, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and South Africa are just some of the developing countries currently growing genetically modified food. They are guinea pigs? China, well in advance, saw the folly of politicizing Biotech - debate. And 'now collect bountifully. A poor country a decade ago, China is now in a position to save a country like Zimbabwe. When traveling Mugabe again in Beijing, China should remind him that their wealth has been accrued from mode biotechnology. And that Zimbabwe should follow this example. Failure to do so amounts to biting the hand that feeds them.
