National Plant Variety Rights Office (NPVRO)

The National Plant Variety Rights Office (NPVRO) is a government organization responsible for managing the legal protections for new plant varieties. It grants rights to breeders and developers, giving them exclusive control over their innovative plant breeds for a certain period. This encourages innovation and investment in agricultural research while ensuring that creators can benefit from their work. The NPVRO also oversees the registration process, maintains records, and enforces rights, helping to promote the development and sustainable use of diverse and improved plant varieties within the country.
