Colombia: Colombia Releases Low Level Presence Policy

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CO2024-0027
On October 23, 2024, the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) issued a resolution establishing a 3 percent threshold allowance for unapproved genetically engineered (GE) seed events, and a 5 percent threshold for animal feed. These thresholds will minimize the risk of disruptions to trade resulting from unintended low-level presence (LLP) of GE material approved in at least one country but not yet in Colombia.
