ISAAA Reports Emerging Trends in Agricultural Biotechnology Across Asia, Oceania, and Africa
Agricultural biotechnology continues to gain ground across Asia, Oceania, and Africa. In 2024, Asia and Oceania reached a significant milestone with nine countries cultivating a combined 20.81 million hectares of biotech crops—nearly 10% of global biotech crop plantings. Africa's leading adopter, South Africa, planted 3.5 million hectares of GM crops in the same year, ranking eighth globally, while seven other African countries took strides in commercial biotech crop adoption. ISAAA 2024 Biotech Facts & Trends: Asia & Oceania and newly launched 2024 Biotech Facts & Trends: Africa offer a closer look at how agricultural biotechnology is developing across the two regions, from crop adoption and emerging applications to country-level developments and the regulatory and social factors influencing their adoption.
