Hong Kong: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
In 2023, Hong Kong did not have any policy changes to regulations pertaining to genetically engineered (GE) products. GE products are subject to the same food regulations of conventional foods. Hong Kong does not impose barriers on microbial biotech ingredients/foods; however, it does maintain production and import controls on living modified organisms. The Hong Kong government (HKG) continues to be supportive of agricultural biotechnology research and has facilitated several development projects.
