In the complex process of product innovation development a particular role is assigned to consumers, especially in current market conditions characterised by production growth, expanding commercial offer and civilisational and cultural changes. Product innovations in the food market are connected mainly with product development, thus with expanding and deepening commercial consumer-oriented offer to meet his/her expectations and needs related to food and nutrition. The problem of innovativeness is well established in many scientific researches that deal with the economic importance of innovations based on knowledge, signification of innovations in regional development, Polish consumer behaviour towards branch innovations and identification of commercialisation conditioning and product innovation diffusion. This is reflected also in commodity sciences, including food commodity science. The monograph entitled “Future Trends and Challenges in the Food Sector” is a part of “Commodity Science in Research and Practice” series. It is aimed at the presentation of modern perception of commodity sciences, thus evidencing that the Authors seek for innovative research solutions and applications. Monograph contains 16 chapters written by the Authors being scientists from the European commodity science centres. The monograph is published to present both the challenges that face food commodity science and observed innovative trends in this science and therefore it can be a valuable source of knowledge for practitioners and theorists of economic life as well as economics students.

Since their early years, genetically modified organisms have had a significant impact on both economic and social side. Despite of their substantial contribution for increasing the power of food and agricultural markets, GMOs had caused many cross-cultural differences, regarding their acceptance. Starting with the highlighting of the biotech risks, there are worldwide mixed opinions regarding their benefits. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to identify the main position of a developing country, regarding its GMO production, merchandising and consumption and the way in which GMO’s benefits and risks are perceived and acknowledged. Based on its GMO experience, the research was focused on Romania, a European developing country, with more than 14 years of GMO production. The secondary objectives of the research are to clarify the legislation in Romania regarding GMO based products. The legislation in this country defines GMOs as “any organism except human, whose genetic material has been altered other than by crossing and / or natural recombination or any biological entity capable of replication or of transferring genetic material." (Law 214/2002 on the regime of production, testing, use and trade of genetically modified organisms by modern biotechnology and products derived from them). On the other hand, due to ethical issues and related risks, most consumers do not accept the application of modern biotechnology to food production, although in general, the same technologies are accepted in the medical field and the environment. However, interestingly , some applications of genetic 7 engineering are more easily accepted than others in positions of perceived benefits to consumers. The present research is structured into three main parts as follows: identifying the key points regarding Romania’s production and merchandising experience in GMO based products in a global context; a case study presenting the analysis of Roundup Ready soy species distribution in Bucharest supermarkets and the results of an exploratory study on a sample of availability concerning GMO’s. The research methodology consists of the above mentioned Case Study developed in the ELISA Microbiology Laboratory of al Institute of Food Bioresources – Bucharest, the questionaire based research and the statistical data retreived
