Seeds: a protocol to protect varietal property

Joint Resolution 3/2026 (INASE + Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries), under the Seeds and Phytogenetic Creations Law No. 20.247, establishes a protocol for controlling the varietal identity of the grain from samples taken at the first delivery point. The samples are analyzed by Arbitration Chambers and authorized private entities with an INASE agreement; the result is notified to the holder of the variety registered in the National Registry of Cultivar Property, who can report infringements to INASE. It reinforces traceability and the protection of intellectual property over germplasm. It does not create an 'extended royalty' regime or a self-use sworn statement. verif · Jun 8, 2026 ↗

The entire grain chain: holders of registered varieties (seed companies/breeders), producers and the establishments that function as the grain's first delivery point (storage facilities, cooperatives), which become obliged to register in SISA. It enables an oversight role for Arbitration Chambers and private laboratories with an INASE agreement. verif · Jun 8, 2026 ↗
