Czech Republic: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

There are no significant changes to the agricultural biotechnology situation in the Czech Republic in 2021. The country generally maintains a scientific approach towards biotechnology. Czech farmers planted genetically engineered (GE) corn starting in 2005. However, that ended in 2017. This change in planting practices is a result of producers deciding that this product is too difficult to market and sell in the European market. The Czech Republic has not imposed any bans on GE crops. There are companies that use microbial biotechnologies in their production.
