About this statute

This Order sets out procedures for evaluating, certifying, and registering plant varieties, withdrawing certified plant varieties from the national list, and setting the format of the national plant variety list. New plant varieties must pass specified tests before they can be registered, unless they already passed those tests in at least two member countries of relevant regional or international organizations. Applicants for plant variety registration must pay the testing and certification fees for the new plant variety. Plant variety tests must run for at least two growing seasons and be carried out at least at three sites. Rwanda adopts COMESA procedures for certifying new and existing plant varieties.
