Portugal and Spain are the only European countries that authorize the production of crops improved by genetic engineering, particularly maize. The USA, Brazil, and Argentina are the leading producers of genetically modified crops (GMOs), with the USA focusing on a variety of crops and Brazil mainly producing soy, corn, and cotton. Africa has recently started experimenting with Bt cotton in countries like Malawi, Ethiopia, and Nigeria. In 2019, around 26% of the world population reaped benefits from the production of crops improved by genetic engineering techniques. The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotechnological Applications (ISAAA) highlights the benefits and widespread adoption of GMOs, emphasizing their potential in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Portugal and Spain are the only European countries where the production of crops (only maize) improved by genetic engineering is authorized. The USA is a leader, both in area occupied by GM crops and in number of varieties. Brazil is the developing country that most bets on the production of GMOs. An updated infographic from ISAAA - International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotechnological Applications shows where genetically modified crops are produced worldwide. According to this international non-governmental organization, 29 countries planted fourteen biotech crops in 2019, a year in which Latin America saw a significant increase in the production of GM varieties. The top five producers are the USA (corn, soy, cotton, alfalfa, rapeseed, beet, potato, papaya, pumpkin and apples), Brazil (soy, corn, cotton, and sugar cane), Argentina (soy, maize, cotton and rapeseed), Canada (rapeseed, soybeans, corn, beets, alfalfa and potatoes) and India (cotton).
