Algeria: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
There is no agricultural genetically engineered product development for commercialization purposes in Algeria. The Ministry of Agriculture’s decree of December 24, 2000 (published in the Official Journal on January 7, 2001), prohibits all imports, production, distribution, and commercialization as well as utilization of genetically engineered plant materials (live plants or pieces of live plants, including their dormant buds, tendrils, grafts, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings, shoots, seeds intended for propagation and reproduction) except for research purposes.
