Australia’s plant science industry has welcomed the news the nation’s agriculture and food production, and associated supply chains, will not be affected by coronavirus shutdowns, 报告 北昆士兰纪事报.
澳大利亚农作物生命协会 首席执行官 Matthew Cossey 表示，所有 CropLife 成员公司都在采取必要行动，以确保关键作物保护和转基因作物产品的生产和供应保持不间断。
“Given the significant challenges the farming sector and key support industries such as ours are facing as a result of COVID-19, I was pleased to participate in a teleconference industry roundtable hosted by the Federal Minister for Agriculture, David Littleproud,” Cossey said. “The loss of access to crucial crop protection products that our industry produces would significantly impact all farming.”
