A survey to gauge what Brazilians think about transgenic wheat, which was approved for sale in Argentina this month, showed that more than 70% of consumers in Brazil would not have any restrictions on the food, according to a survey obtained by Reuters. The survey result breaks a paradigm, under which most consumers would be against genetically modified wheat, which was approved for the first time in Argentina – a country that accounted for almost half of the cereal processed in Brazil in 2021. The poll, carried out in December by Indexsa with 3,135 people in 12 capitals from north to south of Brazil, whose results had not been disclosed, can help in decisions about the next steps for the eventual adoption of transgenic wheat.
