PVP Certificate

A PVP Certificate, or Plant Variety Protection Certificate, is a legal document that grants exclusive rights to breeders who develop new plant varieties. This certification ensures that the creator can control the production, sale, and distribution of their plant variety, encouraging innovation and investment in agriculture. It typically lasts for 20 to 25 years, allowing breeders to benefit economically from their work while ensuring that new varieties can eventually be accessed by others for further breeding and research. In essence, it helps protect the rights of plant breeders and promotes agricultural diversity.
