- 摘要:
- Colombia’s agricultural industry widely utilizes innovative biotechnologies, and its regulatory environment remains open genetically engineered (GE) derived commodities. However, congressional anti-biotechnology initiatives continue to risk undoing decades of scientific advancement, undermining biotechnology development and potentially impacting agricultural trade. In 2023, Colombia increased its GE-corn cultivation 20 percent year-on-year, nearly close to 2021 figures, while GE-cotton decreased 39 percent owing to adverse weather conditions and farmers transitioning to rice and corn. Colombia cultivated GE-soybeans for the first time in its history.
