The Cambodia’s policy on biosafety and biotechnology lies within the
biodiversity policy as outlined in the national biodiversity strategy and action
plan. The policy is a part of the strategic changes in developing the country, i.e.
economic growth, social development, and sustainability. Moreover, the
government has recognized that biosafety is a key factor to promote agriculture
and a cross-cutting issue that might not only affect the national food safety but
that of national biosecurity.
