Vietnam: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In 2016, estimates for Vietnam’s growing areas of biotech crop (corn) were at 35,000 ha, accounting for about 3 percent of the total cultivated corn area. Post notes its concern that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s (MARD) procedures on reviewing and approval of genetically engineered (GE) events for food/feed use and biotech hybrid corn variety slowed down significantly over the last year with no new approvals granted for submissions registering GE events for food/feed use or new biotech corn variety since early 2017. Post believes this slowdown may be a result of an ongoing reorganization in MARD. Vietnam remains a major importer of key biotech plant products such as corn, DDGS and soybeans for animal feed production and cotton for textile industry.
