Vegetable seed is a key business driver; legumes are underrepresented

May 29, 2019

Two-thirds of the companies report that vegetable seed is one of their main business drivers, while half of the companies report that rice is one of their main crops. Overall, the industry offers a broad portfolio of vegetable seed. For field crops, most companies report being active in rice and maize. Even though half of the companies report having small grains like millet and sorghum in their portfolio, only one company reports that this is one of its top three crops. Legumes are generally underrepresented in company portfolios across the region.
