After evaluation and approval by the National Variety Release Committee, coordinated by the Regulatory Services Department, these varieties have been incorporated into seed multiplication programs, which have had a significant impact on crop production and productivity". *"...In collaboration with relevant government institutions and some private entities, the Regulatory Services Department has established a National Database on Fauna and Flora (NDFF), which currently contains records of nearly 5,000 species of fauna and flora. Efforts are underway to make this database accessible to the public. The identification and registration process will also be expanded to further enrich the NDFF and enhance its usefulness to concerned institutions".
