Market Research Reports for Seed, Seed Industry Research Report-Ken Research

Market research reports for seed reveal that maize is the most widely grown staple crop in Africa with more than 300 million people depending on it for food and it gets severely affected by drought. Thanks to plant breeding technology Africa’s main food source can now be produced with drought tolerant traits protecting the crop during unpredictable environment stress.

variety of rice. As compared to conventional rice it produces nearly double the yield (in drought<br />

conditions), requires half as much water and matures much faster. DuPont Pioneer has developed<br />

around 5 hybrid seeds keeping in mind the depleting water table and uncertainty of monsoon in India.<br />

The innovative science driven solutions have enabled certain hybrids like Pioneer Millet Hybrid 86M66<br />

and 86M88 to tolerate severe drought conditions, low or negligible rainfall and poor irrigation<br />

conditions. As a result of this there was a 45% increase in productivity of Pearl Millet and its production<br />

has increased by nearly 20%.<br />

WEMA project has successfully completed several years of research and the result has been promising.<br />

Authorities have also shown their support. Tanzanian scientists have recently released their promising<br />

research on biotechnology. During meetings and discussions held <strong>for</strong> the WEMA project these<br />

researchers were supported by their government to carry on with the field trials of transgenic drought<br />

tolerant seeds. Recently the Tanzanian government amended the Environmental Management<br />

Regulations by removing strict liability to provide a better environment <strong>for</strong> conducting research. Uganda<br />

has also made significant contributions. The WEMA project has developed drought resistant maize<br />

hybrids which are sold under the brand name DroughtTego.<br />

WEMA has led to further developments. The project coordinators have announced the next set of<br />

actions which will focus on ensuring that <strong>Ken</strong>ya, Uganda, Tanzania among others initiative on<br />

commercialization of the improved maize by 2023. India is also contributing significantly in this respect.<br />
