Venezuela has gone back and forth on the GMO topic for years. On 2004 Chavez said transgenic food was not in the interests of the nation, but by 2009 the company Monsanto is still here, and distributes seeds to farmers. The worse thing is mos of the population doesn't even know it. Apart form Monsanto, research laboratories have developed GMO plants but they don't ave permission to plant them or sell them. Laws on the subjects are extremely general, there is a 2000 law on biodiversity that says on art. 98 that transgenics are to be treated by the state with utmost care, whatever that means. Biotechnology on this law is just as general a topic and there isn't anything conclusive on this law about it.
A new law is being discussed by the Assembly, but semingly, it will be as general as the previous law.
