“The steady growth of Brazilian agriculture is due to increased production and exporting of crops such as soybean, sugarcane, wheat and corn, among others.”
Increase in Soybean Production over the Years: There has been a rapid incline in the revenue generated from soybean within Brazil to around USD 2,009. 2 million in 2018 from USD 1,746.1 million in 2013 majorly due to the growing demand for animal feed in Brazil where meat and poultry are the main sources of protein. Also, the producers gained access to more productive cultivars, better adapted to the new environmental conditions and resistant to pests and diseases. Such improvements were sustained by development of a strong seed production system through heavy investment over the years.
The National Service for Plant Variety Protection is a system created for protecting cultivars. It has included over 110 species in the plant variety protection regime and has granted more than 3,386 Crop Protection certificates in Brazil during 2018. Vines, fruit trees, forest trees and ornamental trees shall have an increased duration of validity of 18 years. Additionally, the seed companies are creating new strategies to sell their product and customizing the same with respect to color, flavor, size and shape. The leading segment in the Brazil seed market is the non-vegetable seeds segment which generated higher revenue as compared to the vegetable seed market during the year 2018 within Brazil.
In terms of regional demand, Goias was observed to dominate Brazil seed market in terms of revenue in the year 2018. The region is well known for having many food-processing industries. The development of these industries is likely due to the high amount of cattle in the region. Since non-vegetable crops are used mostly as feed for cattle or poultry, it follows that the demand for the same would be high.
Increased Adoption of Transgenic Seeds: In terms of usage, Brazil was ranked at second position in the world in terms of usage of transgenic seeds with 50.2 million hectares right after US with around 75 million hectares as of 2018. As compared with arm saved seeds, transgenic seeds provide 26.0% more profit margins in terms of savings on complimentary inputs such as reduced use of fertilizers and others. Other major advantages of using transgenic seeds include reduced risk of environmental impact, reduction in pesticide use, reduced need for nitrogen fertilization and others.
Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “Brazil Seed Market Outlook to 2023 – By GMO Seeds, Hybrid Seeds and Open-pollinated Seeds, By Vegetable (Tomato Seeds, Watermelon and Other Melon Seeds, Onion Seeds, Potato Seeds and Chili Seeds and Others) and Non-Vegetable Seeds (Soybean Seeds, Corn Seeds, Cotton Seeds and Others); and By Region” believe that by capping off on royalties earned by private companies for small farmers, investment in R&D to increase the yield of major crops, manage distribution network for widespread research, vegetable seeds gaining traction and educating farmers about the proper usage of seeds and its benefits are some of the factors driving the market. The market is expected to register a positive CAGR of 3.8% in terms of revenue and a CAGR of 13.8% in terms of production volume during the forecast period of 2019E–2023E.
