Austria: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

This report includes information on the status of plant, animal, and microbial biotechnology in Austria. The nation continues to be one of the leading forces in Europe opposed to the use of agricultural biotechnology. Anti-biotech NGO, farmer organizations, the food-processing sector, and the retail sector all campaign against genetically engineered agricultural and food products. Soybeans and soybean products for feed use are the only major genetically engineered products imported by Austria. Although not broadly discussed in public, innovative biotechnologies have a higher acceptance within informed Austrian stakeholder groups. This report should be read in conjunction with the most current FAS EU Agricultural Biotechnology Annual Report.
