The policy strategy aims to raise public awareness of biotechnology and to cement its position within society. Through greater use of biotechnology, progress is being made in various areas: agriculture, health, industry and the energy sector. A National Biotechnology Council was set up to promote the opening of biotechnology parks.

Russia relies primarily on its natural resources for its bioeconomy activities: forests, arable land and access to water. Biotechnology will serve as a tool for further development. In 2011, for example, former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev adopted a national bioeconomy strategy developed by the National Technology Platform Biotech 2030. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Research are involved in this platform. A number of research facilities are also available.

Indonesia does not have a bioeconomy strategy, but development of the bioeconomy is promoted at a political level by the “National Energy Policy” and the “Grand Strategy of Agricultural Development 2015-2045”, especially in two areas, bioenergy and agroindustry.
For palm oil production, the government has set standards for sustainability.

Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia and very rich in bioresources. The country alone is home to about 9% of the world's forests. The bioeconomy opens up new opportunities for Canada to use biobased resources efficiently and sustainably and to open up new markets.

To date, government policy strategies in Mexico have focused primarily on bioenergy production. The paper presented in 2009 is the "Estrategia Intersecretarial de los Bioenergeticos". It was developed by the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The strategy is to promote the development of second-generation fuels, while at the same time demonstration and pilot plants are to be built.

The government fosters application-oriented research with a strong focus on the country’s natural resources and modern life sciences. These technologies are widely used in the agricultural industry. Biorefineries are also growing. In terms of politics, the topics of environmental protection and sustainability are highly valued. New Zealand doesn’t have a dedicated bioeconomy strategy.

Since 2011, Uruguay has had a national biotechnology strategy, the "Plan Sectorial Biotecnología 2011-2020". In 2014, certain ministry representatives met for the first time under the motto "From biotechnology to the bioeconomy". However, a special bioeconomy strategy has not yet been established. National attention is mainly due to the development opportunities offered by the concepts for agriculture[C1] .

As part of the "Política y Programa Nacional de Biotecnología agropecuaria y Forestal del Paraguay" strategy, the foundations are laid for more biotechnology in the agricultural and forestry sectors.

In 2009, the country adopted its “National Biofuel Policy and Strategy”. A bioeconomy strategy does not exist.

By developing bioenergy, the country should depend less on fossil raw materials and energy security should be enhanced. In addition, it is hoped that industry growth will lead to rising incomes and less poverty. The strategy was designed by the Ministry of Energy.
