Abstract

Cet article, synthèse d'un document de recherche, examine les coûts liés à la ségrégation d'une filière avec OGM (organismes génétiquement modifiés) et d'une filière non OGM à identité préservée aux Etats-Unis. Ces coûts sont étudiés pour les semenciers, les agriculteurs, les organismes stockeurs et les transformateurs. Il semble qu'un coût important de ségrégation provient d'une perte de flexibilité dans l'utilisation des équipements de stockage, collecte, transport et transformation, qui doivent maintenir séparés les produits des deux filières. Malgré ces coûts, l'ajustement de l'infrastructure de collecte, stockage et transformation sera graduel et lent, en raison des coûts fixes élevés. Les auteurs examinent également les coûts pour contrôler la pollinisation croisée dans le cas du maïs et les coûts des tests de détection du contenu OGM. L'importance cruciale des seuils de tolérance (contenu OGM autorisé dans les produits non OGM) pour les coûts de ségrégation est soulignée.
