Guatemala: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (MAGA) has a regulation in place for the approval of biotech crops. The regulation was harmonized with Honduras in 2019, and El Salvador adopted the same regulation at the end of 2022. MAGA has not responded to approval applications despite having regulatory requirements to do so. Stakeholders expect that the new administration taking power in January 2024 is more likely to follow established regulatory procedures.
