• The cultivation area of vegetables using hybrid seeds is expected to increase by 33% from 2016 - 2028 because of the high-value crops such as tomatoes, garlic, and lettuce. Hybrid seeds help growers produce high-quality vegetables by limiting crop loss due to different diseases.
• Mexico is one of the major importers of hybrid vegetable seeds because the majority of its farmland is used for organic cultivation and its farmers depend on foreign nations for their seed supplies.
