Jordan: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Link to report:
The country continues to have no clear agricultural biotechnology framework. There is a biosafety law without an implantation regulation. On March 8, 2020, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s cabinet of ministers approved the regulation, “Instructions for Handling Food and Food Products Originating from Genetically Modified Substances Produced by Modern Biotechnology for 2018,” which was published in Jordan’s official gazette on April 3, 2020. The new regulation supports the free movement and import clearance of food and agricultural products, while protecting consumer choice. It has yet to establish an implementing regulation covering trade in genetically engineered (GE) products; and it lacks a notification mechanism.
