Argentina: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

The Government of Argentina (GOA) approved three new Genetically Engineered (GE) events in 2021 (two corn events and one alfalfa). In November 2021 GE wheat flour containing the HB4 event from the company Bioceres, received approval by the Brazilian regulatory agency CTNBio. The approval raised concerns among several Argentine farmer organizations and exporters; therefore in order to strengthen controls of this wheat variety, the GOA has created an audit commission, which will operate within the National Seed Institute (INASE).
