Bernard Le Buanec, Second World Seed Conference (Rome, September 2009)

EU: 2000-2013 Additional agricultural GDP amounts to EUR 8.2 billion: Wheat: EUR 3.1 billion Corn (Maize) EUR 0.9 billion Pulses EUR 0.2 billion Without plant breeding: EU would have moved from being net EXPORTER to net IMPORTER in all major agricultural crops (including wheat and barley)

EU: 2000-2013 Without plant breeding: An additional 18 million ha of arable land outside the EU would be needed: equivalent to the arable land of…

Plant breeding is long and expensive BUT Plant varieties can be easily and quickly reproduced Breeders need protection to recover investment

UPOV MISSION STATEMENT “To provide and promote an effective system of plant variety protection, with the aim of encouraging the development of new varieties of plants, for the benefit of society”
