Restraints for organic seed market are the high cost of seeds and availability of genuine seed

Global Organic Seed Market was worth USD 1.6 billion in 2015. It is expected to grow at a CAGR exceeding 14% from 2016 to 2024 (forecast period). This may be attributed to escalating demand for organic food triggered by the growing awareness of ill-effects of chemicals used in non-organic crop cultivation.

Chemicals adversely affect human health as well as the environment. Governments and environmental agencies across the globe are taking initiatives to encourage adoption of organic farming. Moreover, organic crops retain more nutritional properties as compared to non-organic ones. A favorable regulatory framework is also fueling market growth.
