1, the price is cheap. The yield of genetically modified crops is much higher than that of ordinary crops, the production cost is reduced, and the price at the time of sale is also cheaper than that of non-genetically modified foods. Generally speaking, a barrel of 5 liters of GM soybean oil is cheaper than non-GM soybean oil 10 yuan. However, most consumers in China are still price-sensitive. Cheap soybean oil allows people to eat hygienic edible oil, avoiding the purchase of bulk oil or even waste oil that may not meet the safety production standards, and ensuring food safety to a certain extent.
2. Protect the environment. Transgenic soybean was developed to match the use of glyphosate herbicide. Glyphosate can remove a variety of weeds in the process of weeding, but it also kills crops, so it is difficult to put into use. Through transgenic method, soybean can produce more glyphosate-resistant EPSPS synthase. Therefore, during the period of planting soybeans, farmers only need to use glyphosate herbicide to remove all weeds without harming soybeans, which reduces the abuse of pesticides and thus protects the environment.
