Jordan: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Jordan’s biotechnology draft biosafety law based on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which among other issues mandates the labeling of biotech products, has yet to be approved since its drafting three years ago. There is no clear timetable when or if the biosafety law will be ratified by parliament. Jordan’s poultry and dairy industry are completely dependent on grain and oilseed meal imports, the majority of which are genetically engineered (GE).
