Protecting And Conserving The Plant Genetic Resources Of Nigeria

Welcome to the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) portal of Nigeria! Here, we understand the importance of protecting and conserving the plant genetic resources of our country.
As a nation, we are dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and food security, and we believe that PVP is a crucial tool in achieving these goals. By providing legal protection for unique plant varieties, PVP allows local plant breeders to develop new and better-adapted varieties for farmers. This can help ensure that plant genetic resources are conserved and used sustainably, while also supporting the development of new crop varieties that can improve agricultural productivity and food security.
PVP also stimulates innovation among breeders, which can lead to more efficient and cost-effective breeding programs. This benefits the farmers, the breeders, the seed industry and the society as a whole.
