PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION & FARMERS’ RIGHT

Plant Variety Protection (PVP) is a form of intellectual property that provides legal protection for new plant varieties. This protection allows breeders to have exclusive control over the production, sale, and distribution of their new plant varieties for a specified period of time.

Farmers' Rights, on the other hand, are rights that ensure that farmers have access to and can benefit from the use of new plant varieties protected by PVP. These rights include the right to save and exchange seeds, the right to participate in the development of new plant varieties, and the right to equitable sharing of benefits derived from the use of these plant varieties. Our services include,
