This approach seeks to establish an integrated institutional framework for managing the sector, ensuring a balance between regulating the professions involved in the trade of seeds, seedlings, and propagation materials on the one hand, and protecting national genetic resources and traditional agricultural knowledge on the other.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"1302\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3839\" src=\"https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/nhrclb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-16-at-5.59.32-PM-1068x801.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"2102\">The NHRC-CPT stressed that its proposals ensure the establishment of transparent and fair requirements for the registration of seed varieties and propagation materials, the documentation of their production, and the integrity of oversight procedures, without infringing on farmers\u2019 rights, restricting the circulation of traditional seeds, or subjecting them to intellectual property regimes, the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), or the criteria of distinctness, uniformity, and stability. It explained that this approach aims to guarantee the sustainability and sovereignty of local agricultural systems, protect farmers\u2019 rights to save, store, exchange, and multiply their local varieties, safeguard agrobiodiversity, and strengthen food sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2516\">For his part, Minister of Agriculture Dr. Nizar Hani affirmed during the meeting the Ministry\u2019s openness to receiving all proposals and amendments to the draft bill, pledging not to sign its referral to the Council of Ministers unless a consensus is reached among all stakeholders on the final version. He noted that the Ministry will work on preparing the final draft after receiving all comments and proposals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2518\" data-end=\"3084\">Minister Hani also proposed the establishment of a national committee dedicated to the preservation and protection of traditional seeds, calling on meeting participants to nominate their representatives for membership in this committee.
