Poland: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Poland opposes of the use of genetic engineering (GE) in agriculture. Although the current regulatory framework technically allows GE seeds to enter commerce, the law stipulates they cannot be planted. Poland’s 2006 Feed Act includes provisions banning livestock feed containing GE ingredients. In December 2020, the Government of Poland (GOP) issued a two-year postponement of the provisions which ban GE feed ingredients, including U.S. soybean meal, until January 01, 2023. These provisions have never been enforced and have been postponed several times previously since 2006.
