GM production and regulation in Bangladesh

Genetic Literacy Project published a detailed article on the benefits of Bt eggplant cultivated in Bangladesh. It highlighted the need for strengthening the biosafety policy environment to sustain Bt technology while creating a path for other GM crops that are already in the pipeline.  This would require a more predictable regulatory system to review applications efficiently and at a faster pace.  By adopting an event-based registration system for GM products, regulators in Bangladesh will be able to approve varieties suited for a particular region at a more rapid rate. Numerous studies have shown that this process does not compromise the efficacy or safety of a product.
