How do recent developments in the global seed industry impact seed companies and the seed trade in your country?
Plant technology protection, biotechnology and the wave of mergers are three of the recent developments in the global seed industry that have had an important impact on the seed industry in Mexico.

Mexico's entry into OECD, its signing of the UPOV Convention, and the pressure put enacting technology protection legislation in order to attract companies to invest and send technology into Mexico have made us adopt legislation which is being slowly assimilated and put into practice.

The new legislation has not yet had the desired effect and has only served to make the government get even more involved in the industry!
