Chile has become one of the main global players in seed production for counter-season markets and research purposes. Chile has a key role contributing to the reduction in seed production shortages in the Northern Hemisphere by speeding up the development of new hybrids, cultivars, and genetically modified (GM) organisms. The seeds that Chile produces for export include a considerable amount of GM seeds. Between 2009 and 2018, 1,081 different seed-planting events were undertaken for seed multiplication and/or research purposes. Every single event that had commodity cultivation status in 2018 in at least one country underwent field activities in Chile at least once over the last 10 y. Chile just adopted a regulatory approach for new plant breeding techniques. This type of regulatory approach should contribute to maintaining the status of Chile as a hot spot for future innovation in plant breeding-based biotechnology.
智利已成为全球主要的反季节市场和研究用种子生产国之一。智利通过加快开发新的杂交品种、栽培品种和转基因（GM）生物，为缓解北半球种子供应短缺做出了重要贡献。智利出口的种子包括大量的转基因种子。在 2009 年至 2018 年间，为了进行种子繁殖和/或研究，开展了 1081 次不同的种子种植活动。在 2018 年，至少有一个国家将某种商品作为种植作物的每一个事件，在过去 10 年中都至少在智利进行过一次田间活动。智利刚刚通过了一项针对新植物育种技术的监管方法。这种类型的监管方法应该有助于保持智利作为未来基于植物育种的生物技术创新热点的地位。
