The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given the green light for the cultivation of drought-resistant wheat, known as HB4, which was developed in Argentina. This genetically modified wheat, produced by Bioceres, has been approved for cultivation in the US due to its lack of risk compared to conventional wheat. The wheat has shown to yield up to 40% higher under water shortage conditions. It has already been approved for human and animal consumption in seven other countries. The US is the fourth country to authorize the production and marketing of HB4 wheat, following Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.

The United States Department of Agriculture has authorized the cultivation without restrictions of drought-resistant wheat produced in Argentina and determined that it does not present risks compared to conventional wheat. For this reason, this type of wheat can begin its production process in that country. The USDA decision fell on genetically modified wheat under the trademark HB4. It was developed in Argentina by the National Scientific Research Council by the team of biochemist Raquel Chan together with a group of researchers from the National University of Litoral and the company Bioceres to give it greater tolerance to drought. “It is a great milestone for the company and the deregulation process of HB4 technology at a global level,” said Bioceres. The company confirmed that the USDA approval “is a fundamental step to produce wheat in the United States, which is the 4th world producer of wheat, the fifth exporter and a market always open to technological innovation.” They ...
