Vegetable Seeds Market in Spain
2
The growth in the seed industry of Spain can be
attributed to the increase in consumption of food
products, increase in demand for organically
produced food products and progressive policies
adopted by the government. Spain is one of the
largest producers of GM corn in Europe. Ukraine
is one of the major importers of Spanish corn
followed by Canada. Other major crops produced in
the country are wheat, barley, rice, grapes,
olives and vegetables. The demand for open
pollinated seeds was highest in the country.
Hybrid and genetically modified seeds are also
consumed in substantial amounts. The Common
Agricultural Policy of the European Union has
been a major driver for the agriculture sector in
the country. The policy has provided direct
benefits to the farmers and helped them to grow
their overall production and yield. This support
to the agriculture sector has also fostered
growth in the seed sector of the country.

Spain is majorly an importer of seeds, the seeds
for field crops dominate the overall imports.
Seeds for vegetables are also imported in
substantial amount. Majority of the seeds are
imported from within the European Union
countries. Durum wheat, used for production of
pasta is also produced in large quantities in the
country. The seed market is largely organized
with almost all the major global players
operating in the country, like DuPont, Monsanto,
Syngenta, Rijk Zwaan and others. A large number
of indigenous players are also present in the
market. These players are actively engaged in
breeding of seeds that are resistant to diseases
and are suitable for local use. Urbanization has
led to decrease in overall area under cultivation
in the country, this increased the consumption of
hybrid and genetically modified seeds in the
country which provide a higher yield. Owing to
the high demand for organic food products in
Europe the number of organic farms have been
continuously rising in the country which has
further augmented the seed market in Spain.
