Costa Rica

The GM cotton seed produced by Costa Rica is exported to the United States. In particular, breeding lines are produced for commercial valuation and seed increases are made. The fiber obtained from these lots is exported to China and Turkey or sent to local cotton bale processors. GM pink pineapple, a niche product, is exported to the United States, Canada and, by exclusive request, to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Hong Kong. About 360 pineapples are exported per month.
