Organic seeds are seeds that are produced using organic farming methods without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. These seeds are typically open-pollinated, which means they are pollinated by natural means, such as wind, insects, or birds, rather than through controlled breeding techniques. In addition to being produced using organic farming practices, organic seeds are also free of genetic modification. It means the seed's genetic makeup has not been altered in a laboratory setting to enhance certain traits, such as resistance to pests or herbicide tolerance.
It offers several benefits over conventionally produced seeds, including being free of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, greater genetic diversity, better soil health, resilience to pests and diseases, and better taste and nutrition. They are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Moreover, this farming practice promotes soil health by using natural fertilizers and other soil-building techniques. For instance, India's export of organic products has grown by 39% to 888,179 metric tons (MT) during FY 2020 – 21 compared to 638,998 MT shipped in 2019-20.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted many industries, including the organic seed market. The effects of the pandemic on the market have been both positive and negative. One of the positive effects of the pandemic is the increase in demand for organic food products. Many consumers have become more health-conscious and seek organic products that are perceived to be healthier and safer. It has led to an increased demand for organic seeds, which has resulted in increased sales for organic seed companies.
However, the pandemic has also had negative effects on the organic seed market. The pandemic has led to disruptions in the global supply chain, which has resulted in delays in the shipment of organic seeds. It has made it difficult for organic seed companies to maintain their inventory levels and meet the growing demand for organic seeds.
However, certain factors are responsible for limiting the growth of base oils in the forecast period. Factors include limited availability, higher cost, research and development, infrastructure, regulation, and the need for more awareness. Organic seeds still need to be widely available as compared to conventional seeds. It limits the adoption of organic farming practices among farmers. In addition, these seeds are generally more expensive than traditional seeds. It can make it difficult for small-scale farmers to afford them, thus limiting the market. Moreover, many farmers need to be made aware of the benefits of organic farming and may not see the need to purchase organic seeds.
