Organic Seed Market Trends

There is a noticeable surge in demand for novel and specialty organic seeds. Farmers are continuously seeking unique and exotic varieties, in order to diversify the produce. Along with the shift in culinary preferences of consumers, the importance of genetic diversity in organic farming for promoting resilience against environmental challenges will stimulate the industry.

As more and more people participate in home gardening and urban agriculture, there is a growing desire for compact, high-yield organic seed varieties that are well-suited for limited spaces. This inclination resonates with the sustainable living and self-sufficiency ideologies. Consequently, there is a rising demand for accessible and adaptable organic seeds, as urban dwellers seek to cultivate their own organic produce.

The rising adoption of organic farming practices by large-scale commercial agriculturists is a significant trend shaping the organic seed market dynamics. As per USDA, in 2021, there were around 17,445 certified organic farms with a total sale of US$ 11.2 billion in organic products. Acknowledging the enduring advantages of sustainable agriculture, key players are shifting towards organic practices and procuring organic seeds for their crops. This shift not only reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility but also contributes to the mainstreaming of the practice.
