Hybrids are in high demand owing to their usage in the protected cultivation of vegetables
- In 2022, the share of hybrids was more than the open-pollinated varieties in Thailand’s vegetable seed market. The demand for hybrid seeds is high due to benefits such as drought tolerance, adaptability to different soils, and higher yield than open-pollinated seed varieties.
- The share of hybrid seeds in protected cultivation is 100% because open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) face constraints like lower yields, delayed maturity, and inferior quality. An increase in the area under protected cultivation is driving the demand for hybrids in Thailand.
- In 2022, hybrids accounted for 83.5% of the vegetable seed market in Thailand. The increase in awareness about the advantages of hybrids, such as early bearing, disease resistance, and high yielding, is responsible for the increased use of hybrids in the country for vegetable production.
- In 2022, hybrids under protected cultivation accounted for 0.1% of the hybrid vegetable seed market in the country. The low share is due to the requirement of high initial investments for protected cultivation. During the forecast period, the hybrid seeds market under protected cultivation is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.1% due to the year-round demand for vegetables and government support for protected cultivation.
- Open-pollinated varieties require fewer inputs, such as fertilizer and pesticides, and are more affordable for low-income farmers. Therefore, the open-pollinated varieties segment concerning vegetables is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.
- Due to the development of hybrids and improved open-pollinated varieties, agricultural production increased in the country. Thus, the demand for commercial seeds is estimated to increase during the forecast period.
