Hong Kong: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
In 2023, Hong Kong did not have any policy changes to regulations pertaining to genetically engineered (GE) products, while monitoring the development of synthetic biology. GE products are subject to the same food regulations of conventional foods. However, Hong Kong does maintain production and import controls on living modified organisms. Hong Kong does not impose barriers on microbial biotech ingredients/foods. The Hong Kong government (HKG) continues to be supportive of research and has facilitated several biotechnology development projects.
