Rwanda accedes to the Arusha Protocol on protection of new plant varieties, and the Protocol becomes fully effective. The Prime Minister and the listed ministers are responsible for implementing this Order. This Order takes effect on the date it is published in the Official Gazette of Rwanda.

A plant variety must have a qualifying denomination, and the breeder must submit it to the ARIPO Office.
