Caribbean Basin: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Biotech regulations have been virtually non-existent in the Caribbean. However, that may change in the years ahead as 12 Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries move forward with a United Nations Environment Programme/Global Environment Facility (UNEP/GEF) Regional Project for Implementing National Biosafety Frameworks (NBFs) in the Caribbean. The project is expected to conclude in 2017, with its outcomes likely becoming the guideposts for future regulation of biotechnology within the participating CARICOM countries. Currently, the United States is the region’s main supplier of food and agricultural products, and this trend is expected to continue.
