Ecuador: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In October 2016, Ecuador's Ministries of Agriculture and Industries announced that the National Institute for Agricultural Research INIAP will start field trials of GE corn with research purposes. The trials are expected to last two years. Adoption of modern biotechnology in Ecuador will respond to the State's Constitutional mandate to ensure food sovereignty. A recent increase in phytosanitary problems and adverse weather have significantly reduced agricultural productivity.
