This edition focuses on China's commercial seed industry with in-depth analysis. The article indicates that China's commercial seed sector is attractive and promising, yet active Chinese players need to ramp up urgently R&D in biotech seeds to anticipate increasing penetration of foreign products despite high entry barriers.
Key findings:
- Growing market demand, with low penetration of biotech seeds.
- Highly fragmented industry as dominated by small-to-medium-sized domestic players, consolidation is underway.
- R&D as the key lever for Chinese players to capture future value.
