This report updates the 2017 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual Report. The U.S. exported nearly $1.6 billion in genetically engineered (GE) products to Indonesia in 2017, including nearly $1 billion of soybeans. In August 2018, GE sugar cane completed biosafety assessments for food, feed, and environmental safety. Already having received variety release, the drought resistant sugar cane becomes the first GE crop to meets all defined regulatory requirements, though its unique status will likely prevent broader commercialization.
