Colombia: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual
Colombia's agricultural sector incorporates biotechnology-derived products, including the recent commercial release of edited berries. The country maintains a rigorous, science-based regulatory framework supportive of genetically engineered (GE) commodities. However, anti-biotechnology activism in Congress continues to create challenges, with proposals for GE-free territories and measures to further protect native seeds, resulting in regulatory uncertainty and potential impacts on agricultural trade. In 2024, the total area planted with GE crops decreased by 10 percent, mirroring a broader decline in overall corn and cotton cultivation.
