Ukraine: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The biotechnology regulatory system in Ukraine is still not fully developed, but the country has committed to shape its policy in line with European Union standards. Political debate over agricultural biotechnology is active in Ukraine. Currently, there are no genetically engineered (GE) approved agricultural and food product registrations and therefore no products can be legally imported into Ukraine. The Government of Ukraine has banned cultivation of GE crops, however there are reports of illegal GE production of certain crops.
