The 3568 hectares now registered GM maize represent only 0.17 percent of the total maize-growing area in Germany. The forecasts of the biotech industry did not occur a second time. The cultivation of GM maize widens out, it goes back compared to last year. In Bavaria alone, 42 percent less cultivation areas are reported.
Most of the sites are as followed in recent years in Brandenburg, Saxony and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
