Give any two reasons why the patent on Basmati should not have gone to an American Company.

Answers (1)

Following are the two reasons why the patent on Basmati should not have gone to an American Company:

  1. A total of 27 documented varieties of Basmati is being grown in India, and thus it is an integral part of traditional farm practices in India.
  2. The patent could have prevented Indian people from growing Basmati rice.
  3. The distinctive features of Basmati rice, including its fragrance, grain texture, and length, are a result of the unique climate and soil conditions found in its native regions within the Indian subcontinent.
