What are regulations on restrictions on the transfer of agricultural plant varieties and technologies from Vietnam to foreign countries?
Recently, I received a request to transfer agricultural plant varieties from Vietnam to a foreign country. However, it is advisable to restrict the transfer of domestic agricultural plant varieties that may compete with other countries' products. Is this true? Which document regulates this? Thank you!
Answer:
Pursuant to Clause 2 Article 10 of the Law on Technology Transfer in 2017, the transfer of the following technologies from Vietnam to foreign countries shall be restricted:
- Technologies that are employed to create traditional products or perform production activities according to traditional know-how or use or create categories/ species of agricultural varieties, minerals or typical precious materials of Vietnam;
- Technologies that are employed to create products to export to the markets in which there are products competitive with the main export products of Vietnam.
Therefore, it is advisable to restrict the transfer of agricultural plant varieties, products with traditional secrets, or rare and unique characteristics of Vietnam in order to compete in the main export market for the country.
