Ken Research
The growth in the seed industry in France can be attributed to the substantial rise in export of
seeds and crops, considerable growth of the organic food products market in the country and
expansion of indigenous companies to other countries.
Although, the agriculture sector contributes close to only 1.5% of the country’s total GDP, the
seed sector in the country has grown considerable in the past few years. France is the leading
exporter of seeds in the world. The country majorly exports seeds for cereal crops. One of the
major importers of French seeds is Germany. Large quantities of forage crops are also produced
as livestock farming is also substantial in the country. The country also exports substantial
quantities of vegetable seeds as well. France is famous for its wine production and its vineyards.
The consumption of seeds for grape production is also one of the factors driving growth in the
country’s seed market.
The seed market in France is dominated by presence of organized players. The organized
players consist of the global leaders of the seed industry. Indigenous players also have
considerable share in overall market revenue. These indigenous players in recent years have
extensively focused on developing newer hybrid seeds and on expansion into other neighboring
countries. This has further augmented the size of the seed market in the country. Government
policies and regulations have banned the use of genetically modified seeds in the country, but
are designed to support the growth of open pollinated and hybrid seeds. The government also
promotes the development of organic farming sector in the country. In recent years the organic
farming sector has witnessed substantial growth and has lead to increase in consumption of a
variety of seeds. The seed industry has also benefited from extensive R&D and breeding
programmes supported by companies operating in the market.
