Taiwan imported over a billion dollars of U.S. genetically engineered (GE) crops in 2016, accounting for approximately a third of total U.S. agricultural exports to the island. Anti-GE activists and legislators continue to push for increased restrictions on GE products. While the Legislative Yuan (LY) and regulators have so far rejected proposals to dramatically restrict GE products in Taiwan, the overall policy environment and direction remains challenging.
