Colombia: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
The production of biotech-derived commodities continues to expand. Area planted of genetically engineered (GE) corn has surpassed GE cotton. The Government of Colombia (GOC) Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MHSP) continues with internal deliberations of a biotechnology regulatory framework called the “Technical Annex”. The Annex primarily establishes labeling requirements for foods with GE ingredients and the identification of raw materials through a low level presence (LLP) threshold.
