Farmers in Gujarat have sowed a variety of potato seeds registered by multinational PepsiCo, in a symbolic protest against the food and beverage corporation. The BKS mobilised farmers across ten districts of Gujarat to sow the seeds, Vitthal Bhai claimed. Other farmers’ organisations like Gujarat Khedut Samaj and Gujarat Khedut Kisan Sabha have also supported the protest. PepsiCo has registered FC-5 in its name at the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority (PPV&FRA), India’s plant varieties regulatory body. The PPV&FRA was established in 2001 for protection of plant varieties, the rights of farmers and plant breeders and to encourage the development of new varieties of plants.

I dont think this is a good move. Be careful. It may fire back in future.
