Ukraine: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual
The biotechnology regulatory system in Ukraine is still not fully developed, but the country is gradually adjusting its domestic policies to align with European Union regulations. Currently no genetically engineered (GE) events are officially approved for agricultural and food production and the Government of Ukraine (GOU) does not permit the cultivation of GE crops. Therefore, no GE products can be legally imported into Ukraine, which restricts trade in some agricultural and food commodities. However, there are reports of unregistered GE production for specific crops. The GOU adopted a new law on genetic engineering (Law #3339-IX) on August 23, 2023. It will replace the current Biosafety Law in September 2026 and will harmonize procedures of government control over GE circulation in line with Ukraine’s obligations under the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
