1. A farmer was fined 65438+ ten thousand.
Not long ago, it was reported in the news that a large planter thought that his grain output in previous years was very high, so he thought of simply keeping 973 mu of seeds for himself, but he was taken to court by the seed company.
And the seed company won, isn't it strange?
With everyone's questions, I checked the relevant seed information and realized that farmers are not wronged at all.
2. Seed regulations in China
First, we need to know how important crop seeds are.
I remember that it was in the 1990s, because of the seed problem, many farmers' blood and sweat were wasted, and many farmers were worried about their own food.
Because many farmers bought fake seeds at that time.
As a result, many farmers have no harvest.
The scene of farmers crying with their own crops seedlings has always been fresh in their memory.
Another reason is that seeds are the foundation of our country and the food on which we live.
Therefore, the state's supervision of seeds is very strict.
3. Seeds are patented
We all know that every invention will be patented in order to prevent others from infringing our own rights, so seeds are also patented.
Maybe people will say that seeds still have patents? Yes, that's right. Seeds are also patented.
What you may not know is that we were badly cheated by the Japanese a few years ago.
It's a seed.
This seed is the seed of broccoli.
It is because of this broccoli seed that the Japanese earn us more than one billion dollars every year.
The reason for this is that Japan mastered the cultivation technology of broccoli at that time, and most countries in the world would buy broccoli from Japan.
Broccoli is a kind of vegetable that is difficult to grow. Japan has mastered this technology, so in those years, Japan made a lot of money just for broccoli.
Later, Japan wanted to completely monopolize the broccoli market, so it suddenly raised the price of broccoli seeds. If it doesn't want to buy Japan, it will cut off the supply to our country. The country can't spend billions to buy broccoli seeds for ordinary people.
From a painful experience, China has overcome many difficulties through its own research and cultivated broccoli seeds with higher quality than Japanese broccoli seeds.
So we can see the importance of seeds from here.
We can also see why seeds are patented.
Because the research of an invention may take years or even more than ten years, and it needs the efforts of countless people to succeed, so does the seed.
Why did Yuan Longping, an old academician, take root in the fields all his life? He studies seeds.
Think about how many years it took to succeed.
Then some people think that the seeds they buy can be sold by themselves, which is all wet.
Because the above facts clearly tell us that seeds cannot be sold, they are the property of the state and have patent rights. If you sell it yourself, it will violate the patent protection law.
4. Seeds can only be used by themselves.
Seeds are not commodities, because the grain produced by seeds bears the food security problem of the whole people and is the foundation of the country.
No matter how many seeds we buy or produce, we can only eat them ourselves and cannot use them for commercial purposes.
This is also in violation of state regulations.
You should know that the grain we grow is sold to the country, which used to be called public grain. Think about it, at that time, the public grain we paid accounted for more than two-thirds of the grain we planted.
Later, in order to take care of the lives of ordinary people, the state changed to pay part of the public grain to the state appropriately, and the rest could be handled by itself.
Like keeping it for yourself.
The purpose is also to improve people's enthusiasm for planting crops.
Usually, except for a small part of the public grain we handed in, most of the rest are either stored in the grain cold storage for their own consumption or sold to grain collectors, but these grain collectors are also registered in the country and have no sales.
On the contrary, why was this man fined? It was because he grew food not for survival, but for profit. Such behavior will naturally not get the consent of the state.
Grain is sacred to anyone and country, and it is different from other commodities.
Nowadays, with the development of society, the times are changing, and people's spiritual culture is also very different from the past. So be sure to keep up with the times and don't do things that you regret. Some money can be earned and some money can't be earned.
