ARLINGTON, VA – U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) welcomed the announcement of a strategic collaboration between Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation (CWRF). This collaboration aims to jointly develop and prepare HB4® wheat for eventual commercialization in the United States.
“We recognize the opportunities this advancement in breeding technology will bring to U.S. wheat production and look forward to seeing how this trait performs in U.S.-developed varieties,” said Mike Spier, USW President and CEO. “”We are also listening closely to our U.S. wheat farmer leaders and our global customers, which is why we especially appreciate the commitment of Bioceres and CWRF to the Wheat Industry Principles for Biotechnology Commercialization, developed jointly by USW and the National Association of Wheat Growers.”
“The continued open conversations as HB4® wheat enters the wheat breeding pipeline ensure our customers know their concerns are being heard and that the U.S. wheat store will remain open to meet their desired preferences for wheat purchases.”
