Nicaragua: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Despite being passed in 2010, Nicaraguan biotechnology legislation lacks implementing regulations that would open opportunities for farmers and food processors to integrate new technologies into their operations. While progress on the regulatory framework has stalled ahead of the November 2021 presidential election, Nicaragua continues to regularly import genetically engineered feed grain and oilseed products to support the livestock sector.
