The competent authority to deal with trademark infringement disputes of farmers is the administrative department of agriculture.
Legal subjectivity:

There are three ways to solve trademark infringement disputes: 1. If the parties reach a settlement through consultation, the trademark registrant or interested party may bring a lawsuit to the court or request the relevant administrative department to handle it. In China, the administrative department for industry and commerce has the right to identify infringement, take law enforcement measures, order it to stop, confiscate and destroy infringing goods and tools specially used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks, and may also impose a fine. 2. If a party refuses to accept the administrative decision to stop the infringement, it may bring a lawsuit according to law; If the infringer fails to bring a suit and perform it within the time limit, the administrative department for industry and commerce may apply to the people's court for compulsory execution. It is simple and effective to solve trademark infringement disputes through administrative organs, but it is impossible for the infringed to obtain civil compensation through such administrative investigation. 3. If there is infringement, the infringed person can also directly file an infringement lawsuit with the people's court, and litigation is the ultimate solution. Even if the case has been handled by the administrative department for industry and commerce, the parties can still bring a lawsuit to the people's court and make various requests for civil relief through judicial channels.

Legal objectivity:

Article 60 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) commits one of the acts listed in Article 57 of this Law, infringing on the exclusive right to use a registered trademark and causing disputes, which shall be settled by the parties through consultation; Unwilling to negotiate or failing to negotiate, the trademark registrant or interested party may bring a lawsuit to the people's court or request the administrative department for industry and commerce to handle it. When the administrative department for industry and commerce finds that the infringement is established, it shall be ordered to immediately stop the infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks. If the illegal business amount is more than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than five times the illegal business amount may be imposed; if there is no illegal business amount or the illegal business amount is less than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than 250,000 yuan may be imposed. Whoever commits trademark infringement twice or more within five years or has other serious circumstances shall be given a heavier punishment. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the sale of goods that are not known to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and can prove that the goods are legally obtained by themselves, indicating the supplier.
