摘要：

The primary focus of agriculture research in Egypt is crop improvement and crop variety development. In order to move forward in the area of agriculture biotechnology, Egypt requires a biosafety legal framework. The absence of a legal framework impedes field trials, as well as the commercial use of genetically engineered (GE) crops. The planting of GE crops is currently not authorized and there is no biosafety legal framework in place. The absence of a biosafety framework contributes directly to a lack of public awareness and trust in agricultural biotechnology. A new section on microbial biotechnology has been added to the report.
