It seems that protecting the varieties of our beloved plants is behind the prohibition of self-propagation (collection) in principle. In addition, in 2018, the number of applications for variety registration in Japan was about 40% of that in China, and from the context of wanting to increase the competitiveness of Japanese agriculture globally in the future, breeder rights are protected by varieties registrants. There seems to be an aim to increase the number. This time, the only crops that are prohibited in principle are those for which "breeder’s rights" are recognized. For varieties for which breeders' rights are not recognized, self-seeding is still possible.

For crops that do not have breeder's rights, self-propagation (collection) is possible, so it is up to each producer to adopt them.
