The market for transgenic seeds has a significant impact on agriculture production. Transgenic seeds are gaining better response compared to other pest control agents.
The driving factors for this market are the increasing global population and food requirements, rise in cost of fertilizers & pesticides, and easier residue management. Transgenic seeds gained popularity due to various factors, including increasing cost of seeds, production of high-quality agricultural produce, increasing rates of crop rotation, and raising awareness among farmers with respect to the increasing toxicity of the agrochemicals. Additionally, increased strive for yield maximization across the globe is encouraging the farmers to adopt transgenic seeds.
This report estimates the size of the global market in terms of value. The market has been segmented on the basis of trait, crop type, and region. In 2014, the global transgenic seeds market was led by North America, where the U.S. is a major producer.
