Sri Lanka: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Sri Lanka’s agricultural biotechnology policies remain unchanged. Over the past year, there has been no progress in the approval of its draft Biosafety Act, which establishes a system to protect biodiversity, the environment and human, plant and animal health while minimizing the risks of biotechnology. The draft Act is still with the Legal Draftsman's Department, awaiting further approvals from the Attorney General and the Cabinet.
