Who will benefit the most?

There have been hundreds of small outdoor trials of GM crops in the UK but only one company, BASF, is actively growing GM crops at present. From http://www.guardian.co.uk

So far, the most successful area applied the GM technologies appears to be at the crops. It is reported that the GM crops, such as soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, etc. were putted in the United States, Argentina and so on 22 countries by 10.3 million farmers. Because of the competitive prices of GM crops in the international trade, many countries, although do not allow to plant GM crops in their country, still import GM crops to add in the process of food or breed the livestock.

However, why are GM products so acceptable in some countries like the US? But why does the European Union insist on the rejection for them? I think it is because of their obvious advantages as well as the distinct disadvantages.It is known that Uncle Sam establishs a set of stringent rules in food processing and producing for securing his people's health. But surprisingly, such controversial products were almost first accepted and vastly promoted in this super country. The major reasons have two, I suggest, one is the features of GM products, especially GM crops —high productivity, high quality and high adaptability. For instance, because of its herbicide-and-insect resistance, 89% of the planted area in America is GM soybean. GM soy has good appearance and high producing rate of soy oil, and enables to grow on infertile and droughty land. Thus, GM crops will probably become an important means to solve the food shortage coping with the gradually atrocious climate in the world.

The other reason is the patent of GM technology. As the 90% GM seeds in the world are supplied by American company-- Monsanto,(the largest agricultural company in the world). American government perhaps is very clear that grasping the agricultural high-tech is as vital as keeping ahead in the military affairs and the outer space. Assumedly, the patent of GM tech will likely be a new weapon for the US to control the other countries’ economy in the future. If yes, Argentina absolutely was the first instance.
