Previously, the Hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Creativity in Assembling Television Brings Male Graduates from Elementary School to Jail" read also "I Have a Contract Whose Goods Have Not Been Delivered, How Do I Sue Under Indonesian Law?" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Selling Corn Seeds, Even Imprisoned'.

Tukirin and Kuncoro are two simple men who are trying their luck as sellers of hybrid corn seeds in Kediri, East Java. But they don't know, just because the seeds they sell don't go through laboratory tests and are considered to be 'pirating' a well-known brand, they get a prison sentence.[1]

In fact, these two people are farmers without any bad intentions. Unfortunately, according to Law No. 12/1992 on the Crop Cultivation System (UUSBT) they were guilty and deemed not to have a license to sell hybrid corn seeds such as the BISI brand. Sad isn't it? Kuncoro was imprisoned in 2010 while Tukirin is on probation.[2] And if you have difficulties with this topic, contact us, feel free in 24 hours, we will be glad to help you.
