ABSTRACT
Intellectual property rights (IPR) issues, which are viewed increasingly as matters of social justice and human rights, are now debated by agricultural scientists, corporations, conservationists and governments. Foreign countries have patented number of plants as such and their products. Although climatic condition in India favours tremendous diversity of vegetation but still very less number of plants and their products is protected through IPRs. There is not much understanding and popularization of IPR issues over agriculture sector in general and horticultural sector in particular. India is bestowed with agro-climatic diversity and different varieties of horticultural plants are grown in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate region. In this article an attempt has been made to discuss status, issues and opportunities of IPRs in horticulture sector.
Key words :
Flowers, fruits, GI protection, horticulture, IPR legislation, medicinal plants, vegetables.
