Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (KBLB)

<< I just hope the news is good, especially regarding Vietnam. >>

KBLB needs to provide 2 things to MARD in order to get into Vietnam:

(1) a biosafety document from the U.S. State Dept
(2) a document from the US Department of Agriculture

KBLB has neither of them.

If KBLB receives either of these, you should see a PR in that regards.

Until then, it is all just wishful thinking...

October 3, 2017: "A representative from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has received a dossier from Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (USA) for the project to import and produce genetically modified silkworms (spider silkworms). After considering the dossier, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) found that the dossier was missing: (1) The biosafety certificate granted for the gene transfer event to the silkworm variety meeting the requirements in Article 22, Article 23 Decree 69/2010 / ND-CP dated 21 June 2010 of the Government on management of biological safety of genetically modified organisms. (2) License for use of genetically modified (AI) silkworms in US Department of Agriculture (USDA) mass production."
