  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SP2021-0031

This report describes the agricultural biotechnology sector in Spain, covering production and trade, policy, and marketing aspects. It includes topics related to plant, animal, and microbial biotechnology. Spain is a powerhouse for agricultural biotechnology in the European Union, as the country remains the largest grower of biotech corn and a major consumer of feed ingredients. At the Member State level, there have been few changes affecting agricultural biotechnology as currently all eyes are set on the European Commission’s future regulatory framework for genome editing.
