Fees 2026
The fees of the Board for Plant Varieties are set annually by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature. The fee proposals are jointly prepared by Naktuinbouw and the Board for Plant Varieties. This announcement concerns the proposed application fees for plant breeders’ rights, variety registration, and DUS testing for 2026.
Fee indexation compared to 2025
• Average indexation: 6% increase on all 2025 fees.
Explanation on the indexation

For 2026, a wage indexation of 5% is assumed, partly based on recent collective labor agreement developments.
In addition, periodic scale increases are included, bringing the total increase in wage costs to 6%.
This adjustment ensures that Naktuinbouw remains in line with the market and that personnel costs are managed in a transparent and responsible manner.
