In April 2024, FAEA commissioned research to evaluate Bangladesh’s Import Policy Order (IPO) 2021-2024 against the import regulations and standards adopted by other key Asian countries engaged in animal feed and feed additive trade with the U.S., such as Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines. The analysis focuses on key concerns like radioactivity, antibiotic use, GMOs and the lack of a risk-based approach, comparing these to international standards set by bodies like Codex and WOAH. The findings highlight areas where Bangladesh could benefit from clearer language and a more scientifically sound, risk-based framework.
