Peru: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PE2025-0024
Peru continues its extended biotechnology moratorium on cultivating genetically engineered (GE) crops based on ongoing environmental concerns until December 2035. This "precautionary" approach restricts Peru’s ability to innovate and develop tailored solutions for plant, animal and microbial research with genome editing. Research institutions and the Government of Peru, however, are seeking a pathway to reconsider gene edited technologies.
