USDA GAIN Report on Agribiotechnology in Australia
March 19, 2014| |
The Agricultural Biotechnology Report for Australia showed that the Australian government is very supportive of biotechnology and has committed considerable long-term funding to research and development. Crops such as cotton, canola and carnation are the only biotech crops approved for commercial release into the environment in Australia. Australia requires that food products derived from genetic engineering get prior approval from Food Standards Australia New Zealand before they can be sold, if they contain more than one percent biotech product. Such products must also be labeled to indicate that they contain biotech products.
The complete report is available at: http://gain.fas.usda.gov/Recent%20GAIN%20Publications/Agricultural%20Biotechnology%20Annual_Canberra_Australia_12-11-2013.pdf.
