Thailand’s biotechnology policies have not changed since 2007 when the Cabinet revoked a field trial for genetically engineered (GE) crops but applied restrictive measures in conducting future field trials. The outcome of the draft Biosafety Legislation, which would create a regulatory framework for genetically engineered (GE) crop cultivation, is still uncertain. Thailand is looking to adopt a positive list of approved GE events for food products.
