Global AP Coalition (GAPC)
The Global AP Coalition is a global coalition of the food and feed chain working together to encourage national solutions to avoid trade disruption due to LLP of recombinant-DNA plant material. Membership includes representatives from the processed food industry, grain and feed trade, seed industry, and technology providers. GAPC’s guiding principle is to assure that regulatory structures for food and feed products that may contain modern biotechnology that has been authorized in one or more countries but not in the country of import do not disrupt trade or cause unnecessary increased costs in the supply chain for those foods. Avoiding disruption or unnecessary costs is essential to global food security and an obligation of all government regulatory regimes. |
