Malaysia: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual

Malaysia continues to depend on imported GE-derived feed ingredients while keeping strict limits on domestic GE crop cultivation. In 2025, regulators began more active discussions on how genome-edited products should be handled, reflecting pressure to modernize policy. Animal biotechnology remained minimal, and discussions continue to focus on public expectations and halal consideration. Microbial biotechnology stayed commercially strong in 2025, supported by steady industry use of fermentation-based ingredients and clear food-safety rules.
