2024 Biotech Facts and Trends: Asia & Oceania
May 6, 2026| |
Asia and Oceania continue to emerge as pivotal drivers in the global agricultural biotechnology sector, reaching a significant milestone of 20.81 million hectares of biotech crop area in 2024. These findings are detailed in the 2024 Biotech Facts and Trends: Asia & Oceania, a regional summary and analysis of biotech adoption, and supplementary to Brief 57: Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops in 2024.
The report includes the following discussions:
- Top three adopting countries in the region
- Updates in other adopting countries
- Adoption of Bt brinjal in Bangladesh
- Progress and setbacks in regulatory frameworks
- Prospects and recommendations
"The region is expected to continue emphasizing biotech crops for food security, climate resilience, and sustainability, with efforts to improve regulatory clarity, public communication, and farmer education. Building trust through transparent, evidence-based communication and integrating biotech into inclusive seed systems are vital for broader adoption," according to Dr. Rhodora Romero-Aldemita, Executive Director of ISAAA Inc.
The report is accessible to all Elite subscribers of Biotech Updates.
