Indonesia: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

This report updates the 2019 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual Report. The U.S. exported over $1.8 billion in genetically engineered (GE) products to Indonesia in 2019, including more than $860 million of soybeans. Despite completing biosafety assessments for various GE products, Indonesia has yet to finalize monitoring guidelines for GE crops that would allow for full domestic commercial cultivation. A recently developed “Road Map for Genetically Engineered Products”, led by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, has established research and production goals for GE varieties of several staple crops including corn, sugar cane, potato, soybean and rice.
