Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. announced that CTNBio, the National Biosafety Commission of Brazil´s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, has concluded the safety evaluation of HB4 Wheat, providing full approval for commercialization and cultivation in Brazil. The approval builds on Brazil's previous approval for food and feed use of HB4 Wheat flour in November 2021.

In addition to opening the Brazilian market to the technology, the decision clears the path for commercialization in Argentina through channels other than Bioceres' identity-preserved HB4 Program. The approval also enables the acceleration of Bioceres' collaboration with EMBRAPA (Brazil's Agricultural Research Corporation) to develop subtropical wheat varieties to increase the supply of local materials in this geography. HB4 Wheat offers the potential for double cropping – rotating wheat with a summer legume – in regions of the country that are currently limited by water availability.
