Seeds have played a major role in the growth of the Indian agriculture sector and represent the basic and most critical input for sustainable farming. During the past five years, the seeds market in India has grown at a CAGR of 12%, nearly twice as fast as the global seeds market. In terms of market volumes, rice, wheat and maize currently account for most of this market. Cotton, however, represents the biggest segment in terms of market values.
