Seed Business - Challenges
Staying ahead in the race
IP protection
Anchor down for long haul
Seed companies in:
China - ~ 7000 registered
India - ~ 500 registered

South Asia Seed Industry - Challenges
AVG TOMATO SEED PRICE IN EUROPE - $9000-$10,000/kilo
AVG TOMATO SEED PRICE IN THE US - $ 6500-$8500/kilo
AVERAGE TOMATO SEED PRICE IN INDIA - $ 400/kilo
Industry Opportunity – how to stay ahead???
Introduce stress tolerant hybrids with latest technological
tools
Facilitate producers find markets during low prices by
coordinating with processing industry
Developing tomatoes with incremental USPs - higher nutrient
values, better processing qualities, increased tolerance to
stresses……..
Industry Contribution – Productivity Increase

$0.05/kg is breakeven point of cultivation
< $0.05, farmers don't recover even harvesting
& packing cost

With increase in productivity & consumption being low, increasing processing capacity is
a must.

Opportunities
VARIETIES CURRENTLY GROWN NOT SUITABLE FOR
PROCESSING
AVAILABLE PROCESSING FACILITIES YET TO GO CRITICAL
ENSURE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIAL AT PRICES ACCEPTABLE
TO BOTH GROWER AND PROCESSOR – FOR THIS LARGE
SCALE MECHANISED CULTIVATION IS ONLY OPTION
Is the situation ideal for processing industries?
Opportunity
PROTECTED CULTIVATION CAN SURELY INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity under protected cultivation: 250-600 T/Ha

Barring temporary, localised shortfall, no major catastrophes in
production
When problems do occur (TYLCV, TOSPO, etc) solutions have been
managed.
IP protection is a major concern and has to addressed
Processing has to increase
CONCLUSION
