The Application of Biotechnology

AWB Policy
Updated June 2007

AWB supports the development of agricultural biotechnology under controlled conditions because of the potential benefits to farmers and the community.

• We will provide appropriate stewardship services to farmers to help them in the application of agricultural biotechnology.
• AWB will also provide a range of products and services to meet the needs of all its customers in Australia and overseas.
• To enable this, we support supply chain improvements to enable effective segregation of genetically modified (GM) and non-GM product.
• We will provide non-GM and GM products to commercial customers in Australia and overseas to meet their requirements.
• We will comply with all labelling requirements where genetically modified (GM) material is present in any product to enable informed consumer choice.

If you have questions about the policy, please contact the AWB Corporate Affairs team.
