Seed Laws Toolbox: Scoping Study

The SeedNL partnership sees improving the enabling environment for seed business as key to the development of a vibrant seed sector. But seed regulatory frameworks are key bottlenecks hampering the development of the sector in developing countries and upcoming markets. Based on the positive experiences with the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) toolbox, the aim of this study, subsidised by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, is to explore and assess the possibility, relevance and arrangements of a Seed Laws Toolbox, providing regulatory support in areas beyond PVP.
