Tanzania: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual

There are currently no genetically engineered (GE) products traded or commercialized in Tanzania due to the strict liability clause in the Biosafety Regulations of 2009. In September 2022, Tanzania’s Ministry of Agriculture reversed a 2021 ban on all GE research trials, directing the Tanzania Agriculture Research Institute to identify stations for GE research. At time of publication, no new research trials have been launched.
