Argentina: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
The Government of Argentina (GOA) approved five new genetically engineered (GE) events in late 2023 and 2024, including one cotton, two soybean, and two corn events. In 2024, the first three applications were submitted for joint assessment by the agricultural regulatory agencies of Argentina and Brazil under the Cooperation Agreement on Biosafety of Modern Biotechnology Products, signed in 2022. In the first week of September 2024, an edited potato developed in Argentina was reported as “non-GE.” In June 2024, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay established the International Biosafety Network of Products derived from Modern Biotechnology.
