Grant Description

As China continues to expand its research and development of biotechnology crops, it is anticipated that Chinese biotechnology products could end up in the U.S. market. The workshop provided participants with a detailed description of the U.

S. regulatory framework for biotech crops and facilitated partnership between China and the U.S. on the use of genetically engineered crops.

The workshop described how developers can obtain the necessary regulatory reviews prior to products being placed on the U.S. market.

The workshop is expected to build upon previous discussion between U.S. and Chinese regulatory officials and explain how Chinese participation in the U.S. regulatory system may benefit both China and the United States. Four USDA officials with BRS attended the workshop. From 09/19/2011 to 09/23/2011.
