On 20 March, 2015, Monsanto Company
(Monsanto) gave an official response to the rating conclusion on glyphosate
released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It is
disclosed that the IARC considered that glyphosate is "probably' carcinogenic
to people. However, Monsanto made it plain that it disagrees with IARC's safety
classification on glyphosate. Monsanto indicated that all herbicides containing
glyphosate in the market should pass the strict examination and assessment of
regulators and authoritative health departments. Based on the scientific
assessments of authoritative institutions, customers and clients don not need
to worry about the glyphosate safety. Due to different opinions, Monsanto
acquired the World Health Organization to review the data released by the IARC.
In recent years, the safety of glyphosate gradually raises concern in the
world. Therefore, CCM hopes that relevant institutions can again ascertain the
toxicity of glyphosate. Nevertheless, at present, the glyphosate market is not
affected greatly by this case.
