Syngenta today announced that it has received the safety certificate for its Agrisure VipteraŽ trait (event MIR162) from China's regulatory authorities, formally granting import approval. The approval covers corn grain and processing byproducts, such as dried distillers grains (DDGs), for food and feed use.

The Agrisure VipteraŽ trait is a key component of Syngenta's insect control solutions, offering growers protection against the broadest spectrum of above-ground corn pests and enabling significant crop yield gains.

Agrisure VipteraŽ has been approved for cultivation in the USA since 2010 and has also been approved for cultivation in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Syngenta originally submitted the import approval dossier to the Chinese authorities in March 2010. In addition to China, Agrisure VipteraŽ has been approved for import into Australia/New Zealand, Belarus, the European Union, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan and Vietnam.
