Though the public sector dominates in the self-pollinating seed crops like rice and wheat, Private players play a major role in supplying the other seeds like Maize and other hybrid seeds.
Key Market Trends
Yield Lag in Self-pollinated Crop (Rice and Wheat) to Meet the Demand
Rice and wheat are some of the major crops cultivated in Bangladesh, and with the increase in population every year, it is mandatory for them to cope with the growth to meet the demand and supply. It has been evident that the yield progress of Wheat and Rice was comparatively lower than expected when compared to that of the Maize crop during 2016 and hence Private players were pushed to invest in high yielding Rice and wheat seeds to address the food security concerns by Bangladesh government.
Demand for Hybrid Seeds
Maize, unlike rice and wheat, is a non-noticeable crop and hence easier for the private players to enter into the Maize market. Based on the forecast it is seen that 90% of the hybrid maize seed are being imported from India into Bangladesh. Hence the private players can utilize the third party R&D facility as per the government policy to figure out the production of In-house hybrid maize seeds. Also, the private players entering the market owing to their own R&D facility is also another added advantage to pierce into the Hybrid seed market.
