A National Biotechnology Policy draft finalised recently awaits adoption, Science, Information and Communication Technology Minister Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan informed yesterday.

Addressing a conference on 'Biotechnology in Agriculture: Myths and Realities', Dr Khan said a taskforce headed by Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia has been formed to consider the policy that he expected to be transparent and easily comprehensible.

"The construction of National Biotechnology Institute to conduct research on latest issues is nearing completion at Savar. All these attempts categorically indicate how much importance the government has attached to this field," the minister said.

The conference jointly organised by the US Embassy in Dhaka and the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) at the Brac Centre in the city called for adoption of biotechnology in the country's agriculture to boost up production and feed the growing population.
