High-level study tour on Plant Variety Protection and its benefits

The activity consisted of a technical workshop alongside a study visit, which was organised in Spain. The visit was based on site tours and direct discussions with EU breeding companies, farmers, and growers.

This study visit included both theoretical and practical sessions on how the 1991 Act of the UPOV Convention benefits plant variety protection for farmers and growers. It also provided stakeholders with a platform to address their concerns and seek practical solutions through exchanges with EU experts, breeding companies, farmers, and growers.
