Romania: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In 2017, Romania maintained a balanced view regarding agricultural biotechnology. Although no biotech corn was planted in 2017, farm communities continue to view biotechnology as a mean to increase competitiveness and many Romanian farmers remain supportive of the technology. The Government of Romania (GOR) permits biotech field trials, but current research is limited to genetically engineered (GE) plum trees. This report provides updated information on the status of biotechnology in Romania and should be read in conjunction with the EU-28 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual report.
