The Philippines' Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) has officially recognized two new banana varieties, developed by Tropic Biosciences using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, as non-GMOs. These bananas, TRB011001 and TRB011002, are noted for their reduced browning, which could significantly decrease food waste and CO2 emissions. The BPI had also granted the same non-coverage certificate to a different banana variety from Tropic in 2023. Additionally, this year, BPI approved Sicilian Rouge tomato seeds from Sanatech Seed, which is rich in gamma-aminobutyric acid, further expanding the catalog of approved gene-edited crops for importing and cultivation in the Philippines.

In the Philippines, new banana varieties with improved browning reduction characteristics have been determined to be non-genetically modified organisms (GMOs). JDC Non-Coverage Certificates No. 01 s. 2021 was granted by the Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) on June 21, 2024. The product developer submitted scientific evidence to BPI to obtain the non-coverage certificate. The reduced browning bananas (TRB011001 and TRB011002) were developed by Tropic Biosciences using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. These bananas have the potential to reduce food waste and CO2 emissions, equivalent to taking 2 million cars off the roads a year. BPI has granted the same certification to another ...
