South Korea: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Finalized changes to the LMO Act are expected by the end of 2022 with implementation planned for the end of 2023. Additionally, Korea has announced mandatory biotech labeling will be required for all products containing biotech ingredients beginning in 2026.
