Consultation has concluded
The moratorium on growing Genetically Modified (GM) crops in South Australia, except for Kangaroo Island, was lifted by the state government on 15 May 2020.
For a short time, local councils can make a request to the Minister for Primary Industries & Regional Development to designate their council area as a non-GM crop area - this would mean no GM crops could be grown in the area.
The state government has told us this is a once-off opportunity.
When making their decision, the Minister will only consider evidence related to the trade and marketing impact of GM crops.

This is your opportunity to tell us your thoughts and experience regarding the trade and marketing impact of GM crops by completing the survey below.
