Annual Report on Agricultural Biotechnology, India, Canada, Israel and other countries.

On January 17th, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was informed that the United States had recently released an annual report on agricultural biotechnology in relevant countries and regions.
the annual report on agricultural biotechnology, which notes that the Government's approval of genetically modified crops mustard and eggplant has yet to be determined, bt cotton remains the only biotech crop approved for commercial cultivation in India.
, India has approved imports of GM soybean oil and rapeseed oil for the import of GM crop by-products.
India's research and development of animal biotechnology is still in its infancy, in addition to its limited success in buffalo cloning research.
Pakistan is an important importer, exporter and producer of biotechnology crops (mainly cotton) and has established biotechnology and seed regulatory systems.
the commercialization of GM crops in Pakistan remains at the hands of two GM cotton events introduced in 2010.
2005 Pakistan adopted the Federal Biosecurity Regulations to approve applications for the introduction of new technologies, and the import of genetically modified products is subject to food, feed and processing (FFP) approval.
later that Pakistan had "decentralized" some federal powers to the province under the 18th Amendment to pakistan's constitution, and the subject of GM crop management had been unclear, and the implementation of the Federal Biosecurity Act had been suspended for four years.
2016, pakistan resumed the implementation of the Federal Biosecurity Act and enacted a new seed law to promote private sector participation in the absence of approved genetically modified cotton seeds.
2018, Pakistan has established a new rule on the management of intellectual property, The Rights of Plant Breeders 2018, and established a registration system to implement these provisions.
the 2 per cent decline in the area under cultivation of genetically modified crops in Canada in 2018, mainly due to a decrease in soybean cultivation in the three prairie provinces.
2017, Health Canada has approved new genetically modified rape (MS11), apple (NF872), rice (GR2E) and sugar cane (CTC175-A) for food, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has approved the release of genetically modified rape and apples into the environment.
Israel has no policy to restrict the use of imported genetically modified products and derivatives.
current Israeli regulations, gm crops cannot be sold without a valid registration certificate, and only GM tobacco is currently approved. In addition
, Israel allows the cultivation of genetically modified crops for research purposes and allows the import of foreign-produced GM products for the sale and production of food and medicines.
March 2017, the Israeli government considered that genome-edited plants, which cause only nucleotides to be missing and do not insert external DNA, are not considered genetically modified plants and are not subject to GM seed regulations.
In the coming year, israel's Ministry of Health plans to complete the legal work they need to draft new food regulations, including foods containing genetically modified ingredients.
Bangladesh, as an emerging economy and developing country, is consistent with its citizens and policy makers in achieving the goal of achieving adequate food security status to feed 165 million people.
, supported by innovative biotechnology in the world scientific community, Bangladesh is gradually beginning to study and test GM varieties of major trade-based crops such as rice, potatoes, eggplants and cotton.
governments are also supporting scientists in this regard, regulatory policies do not fully cover all aspects of production and sales.
Taiwan imported more than $1 billion of genetically modified agricultural products from the United States in 2017, accounting for more than a third of total U.S. agricultural exports to Taiwan.
currently, Taiwan has not approved the production of genetically modified crops and animals.
In addition, Taiwan authorities are discussing how to manage new breeding techniques such as gene editing.
