The campaign “Nasiona Fair” (“Fair Seed”) was started on the initiative of the breeders of agricultural plants as a reaction to the activities of so-called grey market in the seed market.

In addition to counteracting the illegal trade of seed, the campaign “Nasiona Fair” also aims to promote knowledge about the intellectual property of agricultural plant breeders.

Despite the fact that awareness in respect of IP is growing every year, not all farmers are aware that the plant variety is the intellectual property of the breeder who discovered, developed and registered this variety.

This principle is similar to a literary or musical work, work of art or computer program, which are the intellectual property of their creators.
