Pakistan: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Cotton continues to be the only genetically engineered (GE) crop approved for cultivation and use. Regulatory uncertainty prevents life science companies from seeking approval for any other GE crops, and the National Biosafety Committee is still developing regulations on imports of GE commodities intended for food, feed, and processing. In 2020, Pakistan imported around 2.2 million tons of soybeans, with the United States having nearly 50 percent market share.
