Colombia: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Colombia remains open to the adoption of biotech-derived commodities and other innovative technologies. In 2020, Colombia increased area of GE (genetically engineered) corn grown by 23 percent while the area planted of GE cotton declined by 37 percent from 2019. Ongoing dialogues related to biotechnology regulations, including discussions related to low-level presence (LLP), GE labeling, GE-derived agricultural product imports, and GE-free municipalities need to be finalized to stabilize Colombia’s regulatory environment for GE products.
