Nicaragua: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In Nicaragua, imports of Genetically Engineered crops (GE) are limited to the use of animal feed since the Nicaraguan Commission of Risk Analysis of Living Modified Crops (CONARGEM) has not yet approved the use of GE crops for human consumption and/or cultivation. GE corn and soybean meal are the top imported products. The lack of an operational legal framework is a big limitation to promote the adoption of new biotechnologies.
