 Farmers oppose patent ordinance

 Posted online: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at 0000 hours IST

Excerpts:
NEW DELHI, JAN 10:  Farmers' bodies have decided to oppose the recent
ordinance which seeks to introduce patent monopolies on seeds. The agitation
will be launched on January 30."

" Briefing mediapersons at the conclusion of the farmers' conclave, Dr Shiva
said: "The Patent Ordinance has proposed patent monopolies on seeds, genes
and markers. This will lead to farmers' paying royalties to seed companies.
Further, the proposed amendments to the Seeds Act, like compulsory
registration, will prevent farmers from using farm-saved seeds. We have
decided to oppose all these measures and boycott multinational companies
producing agro-chemicals and seeds, including the genetically modified
 ones." Regarding agitation against the proposed water sector reforms, she
said the focal areas will be Bundelkhand and Doab. "
