IFPRI analyzes the marketing and trade policies for genetically modified (GM) products in South Africa that have been successful in the past and critically reviews recent reforms to these policies. The research shows that South Africa is effectively a significant exporter and importer of both GM and non-GM products. IFPRI also finds that there is a clear movement toward more costly and rigid trade and marketing regulations for GM products in South Africa, with local special-interest groups having an increasing influence on decision making. Yet, the past 10 years have demonstrated that South Africa’s success in taking advantage of biotechnologies under changing global conditions stems mainly from the flexibility of its system. Based on the analysis, the authors provide six policy recommendations to improve rather than rigidify market and trade regulations.
