Canadian planting of biotech crops is estimated at about 10.3 million hectares for 2016, flat from the previous year. The main biotech crops remain canola, corn and soybeans, with small amounts of sugar beets added recently. Canada is one of a few countries to approve stacked traits, or to allow for multiple genetically engineered traits in a plant. In 2016, the AquAdvantage salmon was the first genetically engineered animal to receive food and animal feed approval in Canada.
