Breeders Trust intercepts illegally propagated seed potatoes in Italy

This week, Breeders Trust successfully reached an agreement with eight Italian agricultural cooperatives and producers that propagated potato varieties, protected under the Plant Breeders' Rights Act and marketed these as officially certified seed potatoes, without permission of the variety owner.
In total, it involved approximately 800 tonnes of seed potatoes of the 2012 crop of the varieties Marabel, Laura, Almera and Melody.
