CCM International Ltd. hosted an on-line webinar on Feb. 25, 2011, when Chinese seed industry is entering a rapid development phase with increasing market value, government support, R&D enhancement, etc.
In this webinar, CCM summarizes the seed market value and its contribution to crop yield in China. Main reasons for the market value could be sum up as two points: soaring price of seeds and increasing commercialization degree. To be specific, CCM analyzed different market segments, including vegetable seed, corn seed, rice seed, wheat seed and cotton seed.
The webinar pointed out that huge market opportunities, fat profit and considerable investment returns have attracted more and more overseas companies into China’s seed market. Moreover, vegetable seed and corn seed are the main targets for oversea companies. With more attention from Chinese government, seed industry in China is expected to be consolidated while on one hand, mergers and reorganization are likely to come for domestic companies in order to foster world-level; on the other hand, cooperation between seed companies and domestic scientific research institutions will be inevitable for the purpose of increasing R&D capability.
In the end, seed treatment in China was briefly introduced, including physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological treatment, etc. CCM pointed out that in 2010, seed treatment rate of corn was about 80%, the highest among all crops, equaling to that of cotton; Corn seed treatment rate with seed coating agents was 54%, pesticides 25% and trace fertilizers 1%. Market volume and value of corn seed treatment in 2010 were about 13,000 tonnes and USD55 million respectively.
