Although Burma (also called Myanmar) does not yet have a comprehensive biosafety legislation, the final version of the National Biosafety Framework is completed and pending approval, and Biosafety Guidelines are in the final stages of development. The Framework is expected to be approved and launched in late 2020 or early 2021. This report describes the current policy related to agricultural biotechnology and how it is expected to change under the new framework. To date, only genetically engineered (GE) cotton has been approved for cultivation under the National Seed Policy.
