(Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland is suing Syngenta AG over sales of a genetically modified corn variety not approved for import by China.
It joins more than 100 farmers as well as Cargill and Trans Coastal Supply in pursuing damages from the seed company.
The lawsuit alleges that Syngenta commercialized the MIR162 corn variety without creating a stewardship program to ensure the grain would not be shipped to markets that have not approved it.
China has rejected about a million tonnes of corn over the issue.
