A few days ago, during an interview with seed production bases in Xinjiang and Gansu, the author found that some local regulatory departments lost leniency and light when investigating and dealing with seed-related illegal cases, and when choosing applicable provisions, they often use the maximum fine of 50,000 yuan for seed-related violations stipulated in the seed Law as a shield, do not investigate criminal responsibility, and have no real deterrent to violators.

As a matter of fact, cracking down on illegal acts related to species is not impossible to follow and there is nothing we can do. The seed Law expressly stipulates that if an illegal act constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated in accordance with the law. Moreover, last year, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce launched a joint anti-counterfeiting campaign, and a series of cooperation mechanisms such as "convergence of the two laws" have also been established. The regulatory authorities either turn a blind eye to it, or investigate it but not do it, or even make it legal to investigate illegal cases. is it because of laziness or intentional inaction?.

Seed quality determines farmers' harvest in a year, and illegal seed-related acts involve a wide range of areas and have a bad impact. compared with millions or even tens of millions of losses caused by fake seeds, the maximum fine of 50,000 yuan obviously cannot stop lawbreakers from making and selling fake seeds to make profits. The departments of agriculture, industry and commerce, public security, and supervision should work together to make comprehensive use of administrative, economic, legal, and other means.When they constitute an economic crime, they should resolutely investigate criminal responsibility in accordance with the "Criminal Law," and strictly and severely investigate and punish them. do not let the "seed Law" become a "shield" and let fake seeds hurt the hearts of farmers.
