The Official Catalogue of Species and Varieties of Cultivated Crops in France

The Official French Catalogue (national list) of species and varieties of cultivated crops contains over 9000 varieties and 190 species. It is overseen by the French Ministry of Agriculture, which publishes decisions on the registration and withdrawal of varieties in the Official Journal of the French Republic, based on proposals from the Technical Committee for Plant Breeding (CTPS). This online catalogue is a consolidation of those official decisions.

For all varieties registered in the Catalogue, you will find the official decision published in the Official Journal and, depending on the species, the variety description (used to distinguish a variety from other varieties) and VCUS test results (for agricultural species).

Any variety registered in a National Catalogue is included in the Common Catalogue of the European Union, and can thus be marketed on the territory of the European Union.
