Portugal: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Portugal is the European Union’s (EU’s) second largest GE corn grower, after Spain, and has fully implemented EU regulations in its territory, including strict coexistence rules. Given the needs of the animal production sector, the majority of Portuguese feed and food chain links strongly support plant biotechnology as a means of achieving higher competitiveness. The Portuguese administration has successfully managed to follow a science-based approach in the agricultural biotechnology decision making process.
