BUDAPEST — Hungary has banned the import, planting and production of Monsanto Co's MON 810 genetically modified maize seeds, the Agriculture Ministry said on Wednesday. "The temporary measure bans the production, use, distribution and import of hybrids...deriving from the MON 810 maize line," the ministry said in a statement.
It said the ban will start January 20 for an unspecified period, but does not apply to the use of maize which contains MON 810 in the food industry.
