Indonesia: Indonesia Agricultural Biotechnology Showcase Piques Interest of Indonesian Government Officials

On May 22, 2025, FAS Jakarta organized the Indonesia Agricultural Biotechnology Showcase highlighting to Government of Indonesia (GOI) officials, university students, and other stakeholders Indonesia's advances in the field of agricultural biotechnology. Indonesia is one of 32 countries in the world cultivating genetically engineered (GE) crops; however, new innovative products face a costly and interrupted approval processes that, if streamlined and made more efficient, can help Indonesia increase its biotechnology research, development, and production potential. Moreover, U.S. soybean and other GE product exports to Indonesia, valued at $1.75 billion in 2024, risk facing increased regulatory burdens without overall GOI support for biotechnology.
