4 What are the benefits for breeders? Can take legal action against unauthorized propagation and sales Can license propagators (growers) and define the terms and conditions of those agreements Exercise control over production of propagating material and prevent it from being stolen or illegally propagated Royalty collection - fee charged for each protected plant or bag of seed sold Royalties recoup initial investment, and encourage further reinvestment into breeding programs (private, public, producer, or partnership) 4
5 What are the benefits for producers? Fosters investment and a competitive marketplace Breeders develop better varieties (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance, end-use characteristics, etc) Increased number and diversity of crops and varieties = more choice for producers and consumers International harmonization encourages foreign breeders to release varieties in Canada Balances interests (public/private & producer/breeder) 5
