Nicaragua: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NU2021-0010

While progress on the regulatory framework has stalled ahead of the November 2021 presidential election, Nicaragua continues to regularly import genetically engineered feed grain and oilseed products to support the livestock sector.
