Brief description of the regulatory framework

In Honduras, SENASA (National Service for Agrifood Health and Safety) is the agency responsible for the regulation of agrobiotechnology. The CNBB (National Committee for Biotechnology and Biosafety) provides support in the analysis and assessment of GMO safety. Also, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras passed a joint regulation for the commercial exchange and safe use of agrobiotechnology, which became effective in 2019 for Guatemala and Honduras. The countries are developing proceeding manuals for its full application.
