Israel: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

As of June, 2017, Israel does not have a policy that restricts the use of imported genetically engineered (GE) commodities or derivative products. The existing regulation does not permit local commercial production of GE crops in Israel but allows for their development for research purposes, which is not inconsequential. Israeli regulations also allow GE products to be imported, sold and used for the production of food and pharmaceuticals in Israel. Israel is one of a small handful of countries to have decided not to require regulations for certain products of gene editing. In October, 2013, the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) announced new draft regulations that, once approved, will codify Israeli policy on GE organisms.
