Indonesia: MOA Issues Regulation on Genetically Engineered Crops - Paving Way for Commercial Cultivation
The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has released Regulation No. 50/2020, which for the first time provides post-monitoring guidelines for the commercial cultivation of genetically engineered (GE) crops in Indonesia.
