Regional: The region Algarve has declare itself GMO-free.
Municipalities:26 municipalities have declared themselves as GMO-free

Local governments have been declaring themselves GM-free since 2004, and now there are 26 counties and one region, the Algarve region, who have done so officially.

There is Bt-maize (MON 810) cultivation in some parts of the country (around 1000 hectares in 2006, out of a total of ca. 200 000 total maize hectares) which goes almost exclusively into animal feed.

In Portugal a NGO Platform was created in 1999 (Plataforma Transgenicos Fora do Prato) which has been fighting for a GMO-free country and against a huge public information deficit. Besides individual members, there are ten organisations directly involved in the Platform (ARP, ATTAC, CNA, Colher para Semear, FAPAS, GAIA, GEOTA, LPN, MPI, QUERCUS, SALVA) and belonging to the environment, justice and agriculture sectors.
