PVP breeders

PVP breeders are specialized companies or individuals that develop and sell plant or animal varieties free from certain proprietary rights using a process called the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) system. They create new, unique strains or breeds and ensure others cannot legally reproduce or sell them without permission for a specified period. This encourages innovation by allowing breeders to profit from their work while eventually enabling others to use the protected varieties freely after the protection expires. Essentially, PVP breeders balance protecting their investments with fostering ongoing agricultural and horticultural development.
