La Comisión Europea ha dado luz verde este jueves a la utilización de cultivos transgénicos de soja, colza y algodón, para el sector alimentario y para el sector de alimentación animal, como parte de la estrategia de la UE para asegurar el suministro alimentario.

La decisión no incluye el cultivo en el mercado comunitario sino que sólo afecta a la importación de cultivos modificados genéticamente ya que, según ha explicado el Ejecutivo comunitario, todos estos cultivos han pasado por un procedimiento de autorización exhaustivo y estricto, con una evaluación científica favorable por parte de la Autoridad Europea de Seguridad Alimentaria.
La autorización por parte de la Comisión Europea tiene una validez legal de diez años y los productos elaborados a partir de estos cultivos transgénicos estarán sujetos a estrictas normas de etiquetado y trazabilidad en el seno de la UE.
La decisión forma parte de la estrategia europea para asegurar el suministro alimentario en la UE y evitar subidas de precios en el sector alimentario tras la invasión militar de Rusia a Ucrania que ha puesto en riesgo el suministro, principalmente, de cereales, que ambos países exportaban al mercado comunitario.

Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de España solicitaron este mes al ministro de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación, Luis Planas, que de “manera extraordinaria” y hasta que se restablezca la normalidad de los suministros desde el Mar Negro, se autoricen las importaciones de cereal, principalmente maíz, de Estados Unidos, Argentina y otros países productores, para hacer frente al consumo diario de casi 100.000 toneladas.

Las cooperativas españolas recordaron que Ucrania exporta a España una media anual de 2,77 millones de toneladas de maíz en los últimos seis años, destacando 2019, con algo más de cuatro millones, es decir, el 30% de sus necesidades.

The prices of cereals seem to have peaked. Or at least this past week of many bridges and holidays, since except corn and soft wheat (with very moderate increases in both cases), the key was the repetition of prices or even the fall, for the first time in many Weeks of the barley, demonstrating that, as it had been predicting, this variety had already reached its ceiling and a low but gradual decline in its cotiazaciones.

The average price of corn in the wholesale markets has risen 0.28%, up to 182.49 euros / ton, during week 49 (from December 3 to 9) of 2018 compared to the previous seven days, while that of barley has decreased by 0.22%, to € 193.39 /t.As reported by the Trade Association of Cereals and Oilseeds of Spain (Accoe), soft wheat has risen from 201.59 to 201.71 euros / tonnes; On the other hand, durum wheat (€ 202.50 / t) and malt barley (€ 203.17 / t) have remained unchanged in their weekly quotations.

Between week 1 and 49 of 2018, the variations percentages of wholesaling cereals have been positive for soft wheat (+7.24%), corn (+ 1.48%) and barley (+5.35%) and negative for durum wheat (-6, 54%) On the other hand, according to European traders, the Spanish production of cereals would have been located this year in Spain at 23.04 million tons and that obtained throughout the European Union at 281.66 million.

Shorter than those handled last September, due, in the case of Spain, to the fact that the average yield has finally been lower than initially forecast and, in the case of the European Union, to a downward revision of the surface In its estimates of last September, the EU Committee on Trade in Cereals and Oilseeds (COCERAL) pointed to a volume of 24.27 million tons in our country, slightly higher than the forecast of Cooperatives.
