The Asian Seed Congress 2024, organized by Asia & Pacific Seed Alliance (APSA) and China National Seed Trade Association (CNSTA) will be held in Sanya, Haina, China from the 2nd to the 6th of December.
As per Asia Pacific seeds industry analysis, in 2023, India started working on biofortification to increase the nutrient levels of several crops such as wheat, pulses, mustard, and millet.
In May 2023, researchers from China’s Sichuan Agricultural University, used Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to improve the nutritional value of Chinese kale.

A key driver of the seed market is the rising food demand across the region. Asia's population is expected to reach 5.25 billion by 2055, constituting approximately 54% of the world population. As the population rises, so does the requirement for food creating a greater scope for the agricultural industry in the region. To meet this demand, governments are persistently coming up with new initiatives and policies. As of September 2023, the Vietnamese government has made rice production a national priority.
Another factor that will positively influence the Asia Pacific seeds market revenue is the population shift from rural to urban areas. Based on data from the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition, by the year 2050, nearly 63% of the total population of Southeast Asia is projected to be living in urban areas. When individuals change their place of living, their food patterns also change. As people increasingly shift to urban settings, their concern for the quality and safety of food grows. This creates a market for better-quality seeds produced using newer technologies such as the CRISPR-Cas9 trials that were started in China in 2017.
Other Asia Pacific seeds market dynamics and trends include the increasing popularity of sustainable agricultural practices such as organic farming and crop substitution. In Thailand, farmers are adopting ‘intercropping’ by growing a mixed set of crops along with coffee. This has helped them diversify their income sources leading to a 20% increase in income. Further, in July 2021, the Philippines became the first country to approve Vitamin A-infused ‘Golden Rice’. These were created by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Department of Agriculture's Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice). They have higher concentrations of beta-carotene, which the body uses to produce vitamin A.
Growing investment in startups, increased adoption of hybrid seeds and sustainable seed sowing practices are supporting Asia Pacific seeds market value.
Not only national governments, but non-profit international orgaisations are also participating in the growth of Asia Pacific seeds industry with their innovative efforts. For instance, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) has ongoing projects in South Asia, namely Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) and Transforming Smallholder Food Systems in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (RUPANTAR), promoting awareness among farmers about new and efficient seed technologies and conducting extensive on-site trials to monitor seed efficiency.
Leading investors in agriculture, such as AgFunder, has invested in three promising startups in the Asia Pacific region in the year 2023 alone. These include AgriFi from India, a startup helping farmers get easy credit for buying seeds and other input materials, Invest Inya Farmers from Australia, a startup that allows farmers to receive funds from the general public, and DHF platforms from Vietnam that helps farmers transform their produce to value-added products. Such initiatives are a boon to South Asia’s seed startup culture, which is already thriving and growing since decades.
Farmers in Asia Pacific are increasingly practicing sustainable seeds production practices such as permaculture and community seed production, aiding the seeds demand growth. These practices provide benefits like resource conservation, biodiversity, and high resistance against common pests and insects. Water saving is also one of the major causes for practicing these techniques, especially in the dry regions of Asia-Pacific.
Hybrid seeds are increasingly being adopted by farmers in Asia Pacific to enhance the efficiency, yield, and resilience of their seeds. Stakeholders such as, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) are realizing this growing demand and have therefore worked consistently to introduce hybrid seeds into the market. Most recently in 2023, the organisation introduced 5 new hybrid seed varieties of maize with characteristics such as drought and waterlogging tolerance, high yield, and resistance against common diseases.

In terms of the type of seeds, there is an increased demand in the market for genetically modified and High Yield Varieties (HYV) of seeds. India and China are the two largest producers of genetically modified seeds in the Asian Region. As of June 2024, five genetically modified crops including cotton, banana, canola, Indian mustard, and safflower, have been approved for cultivation in Australia. There are also field trials going on for other crops.
The market players are increasingly adopting newer technology to improve the quality of seeds in order to increase sales.
