Romania: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Although Romania is one of the European Union’s (EU) most progressive and pro-science Member States (MSs) regarding agricultural biotechnology, it does not currently produce any commercial biotech crops. Romanian farmers widely use imported genetically engineered (GE) soybean meal as a livestock feed ingredient. Romanian farmers are hopeful that Romania will contribute to the EU Protein Program. The Romanian general public tends to view GE product with suspicion, as not natural, and potentially harmful.
