Supporting the future of UK Farming

BIPO Ltd manages intellectual property rights and the collection of royalties on behalf of plant breeding companies. For over 15 years, we have worked closely with breeders and growers to support a fair and sustainable system for varietal innovation.

Plant breeding is a high-risk, long-term investment, requiring years of development before any commercial success can be realised. The UK’s unique maritime climate makes it an ideal environment for successful breeding programmes, enabling the development of high-performing, locally adapted varieties.

BIPO plays a key role in ensuring that the value created through plant breeding is captured fairly and returned to breeders. This reinvestment supports continued innovation, ensuring UK growers have access to advanced, resilient crop varieties suited to the challenges of modern agriculture.
