In this webinar, CCM summarizes the seed market value and its contribution to crop yield in China. Main reasons for the market value could be sum up as two points: soaring price of seeds and increasing commercialization degree. To be specific, CCM analyzed different market segments, including vegetable seed, corn seed, rice seed, wheat seed and cotton seed.

The webinar pointed out that huge market opportunities, fat profit and considerable investment returns have attracted more and more overseas companies into China's seed market. Moreover, vegetable seed and corn seed are the main targets for oversea companies. With more attention from Chinese government, seed industry in China is expected to be consolidated while on one hand, mergers and reorganization are likely to come for domestic companies in order to foster world-level; on the other hand, cooperation between seed companies and domestic scientific research institutions will be inevitable for the purpose of increasing R&D capability.
