Ondanks het voedseltekort handhaaft Zambia het importverbod op genetisch gemanipuleerd maïs.
“We have never gone back on the ban on GM (genetically modified) maize,” Agriculture Minister Mundia Sikatana told Reuters in Lusaka. He added that all maize being shipped in from South Africa and other destinations had to be tested to verify it was free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
