Before the import of cottonseed, the Hunan Yueyang inspection and Quarantine Bureau organized the research team to go deep into the cotton producing area, understand the cotton production safety situation, carry out risk analysis seriously, and put forward specific biological safety precautions.

Because the imported cottonseed is a genetically modified product, the Bureau has extensively collected relevant technical regulations and standards at home and abroad, focusing on the situation of cotton pgene and epidemic disease in the United States, and has identified the genetically modified organisms, epidemic diseases and health inspection and quarantine projects in advance, and has strictly tested the laboratory.
