高級果物が破格の安値で 相次ぐ品種の中国流出、対策に抜け穴か

High-end fruit varieties are being sold at exceptionally low prices due to a continuous outflow of cultivars to China. This phenomenon raises concerns about the effectiveness of current measures designed to prevent such intellectual property theft. The low prices suggest that these valuable fruit strains are being mass-produced elsewhere, potentially undermining the market for domestic producers.

This situation matters because the unauthorized spread of valuable fruit varieties to other countries could devalue Japanese agricultural products and harm the livelihoods of domestic farmers.
