Kazakhstan: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Kazakhstan has not announced any changes to its biotechnology policies. Major challenges like climate change, variable weather, monocropping wheat, and the reliance on Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member biotechnology regulations could be a future catalyst for Kazakhstan to develop its own biotechnology law. Kazakhstan continues to rely on EAEU regulations in lieu of having its own national standards. While Kazakh researchers have had some success in developing new genetically engineered (GE) varietals, the lack of regulatory clarity in Kazakhstan prevents commercialization.
