What we heard : crop variety registration in Canada : options for the future.: A15-11275/2014E-PDF

Variety registration (VR) is a regulatory requirement of the Seeds Act which governs the regulation of the seed industry for most major crops grown in Canada. The VR system ensures that information is available to the regulator, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, to prevent marketplace deception; facilitates seed certification and international trade in seed; and allows for tracking and traceability of varieties in the marketplace. It also supports the grain quality assurance system for multiple crops and focuses on delivering the end-use qualities desired by domestic and international grain buyers.
