INDIA SEED MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY VARIETAL/ NON- HYBRID AND NON-VARIETAL/ HYBRID SEEDS, FY2007-FY2013

The Indian seed industry is bifurcated into varietal or non-hybrid seeds and non-varietal i.e. the hybrid seeds. The Indian seed industry is characterized by second category is hybrid seeds, which are developed through cross pollination and cannot be reused. These are the first generation seeds (F1) produced from crossing two genetically dissimilar parent species contribution of varietal seeds to the overall commercial seed market in Indian has witnessed a steep decline from ~% in FY2007 to ~% in FY2013. This is because the farmers believe that furthermore, since the introduction of BT cotton hybrids in early 2000, there has been a vast incline in the yield of BT cotton in the country over the last decade. The introduction of BT cotton hybrids by Monsanto has Figure: India Seed Market Segmentation by Hybrid/ Non-Varietal and Varietal/ NonHybrid Seeds on the Basis of Contribution in Percentage (%), FY2007-FY2013
