Tunisia: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Tunisian legislation on biotechnology might be approved now that the new parliament is in place. However, this is not expected to take place right away as the parliament is focused on other priorities in the near term. Meanwhile, imports of biotech products into Tunisia will continue to be handled in a manner similar to that of conventional agricultural products. Tunisia is an important importer of corn and soybeans with the US maintaining 50% of the Tunisian soybean import market. FAS/Tunis continues to assist in building Tunisia’s biotechnology research capacity through exchange programs and technical workshops.
