Abstract
Biotechnology is a tool of enormous importance for the development of crop´s competitiveness and sustainability. In oil palm, one of the most relevant events in biotechnology has been the "PIPOC 2009 International Palm Oil Congress: Palm Oil - Balancing Ecologics with Economics", which was carried out in Kuala Lumpur from 9 to 11 of November. Due to the importance of the subject for the development of the crop and with the aim of contributing to keep up to date the Colombian oil palm sector, here it is presented a review that includes the advances in biotechnology presented there and some considerations that could be useful for the development of the oil palm sector. The ideas expressed here are responsibility of the author and in no way compromise the official position of the entity to which he is linked. La biotecnología es una herramienta de enorme importancia para el desarrollo de la competitividad y sostenibilidad de los cultivos. En palma de aceite, uno de los eventos de mayor relevancia en biotecnología ha sido el "PIPOC 2009 International Palm oil Congress: Palm oil - Balancing Ecologics with Economics", llevado a cabo en Kuala Lumpur del 9 al 11 de noviembre. Debido a la importancia del tema para el desarrollo del cultivo y con el objeto de contribuir a la actualización del sector palmicultor colombiano, se presenta aquí una revisión que incluye los avances biotecnológicos allí considerados y algunas reflexiones que podrían ser de utilidad para el desarrollo del sector. Las ideas expresadas son responsabilidad del autor y en ningún momento comprometen la posición de la entidad a la cual está vinculado.
