Malaysia: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Malaysia currently does not have any domestic production of plant biotechnology. However, the country continues to expand the number of approved genetically engineered (GE) products for commercial use. As of August 2020, 46 GE products have been approved for import and market release. This is an increase of 21 percent from the 38 products that were approved as of October 2019. The Malaysian Ministry of Health established mandatory GE labeling guidelines in 2013 but they have yet to be enforced.
