Date Time Access to GM crop innovation now available to all mainland Australian states Agri-biotech companies across all mainland Australian States now stand in-line with their global competitors, after the expiration of the NSW Government’s 18-year moratorium on genetically-modified crop innovations commenced this month. Having long-lasting and certainty of access to current and future GM crops approved for commercialisation will encourage stronger research and innovation, and support the sector’s abilities to reach the growing population’s needs. Access will be maintained to all GM crops that have been approved through the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator’s robust assessments.
