Due to the government’s efforts to protect agricultural exports to China, over facilitating the entry of new technology, only two genetically engineered events (GE) received final approval in 2017: one soybean and one safflower. As such, China’s approval of GE events continues to be a top priority for Argentina. Despite the intense dialog between the government, industry, and producer associations, the seed royalty system continues to be an unresolved issue. The Ministry of Agro-Industry submitted its seed law proposal back in October 2016 but it has not moved forward in the Congress since then.
