Costa Rica: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Genetically engineered crop area planted increased in 2023, though it remained small and limited to cotton for seed and pink pineapples. If approved, area planted could expand further in 2024 as requests for additional pineapple area and the evaluation of new products were pending as of the writing of this report. FAS/San José anticipates a prospective update to agricultural biotechnology regulations could facilitate new research, development, and commercial production of genetically engineered products, including genome edited products, in the near term.
