Myanmar Rice Seed Market - Size, Share, COVID-19 Impact & Forecasts up to 2028

The Myanmar Rice Seed Market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.01%

Key Highlights

• Largest Segment by Breeding Technology - Open Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives : In Myanmar, rice is mainly cultivated by open pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives due to low cost seeds, low input requirement, and non-popularity of hybrids.
• Fastest-growing Segment by Breeding Technology - Hybrids : The fastest growth of hybrids is mainly due to the development of the hybrid varieties by the major companies which are high-yielding and biotic and abiotic stress resistant.

Key Market TrendsOpen Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives is the largest segment by Breeding Technology.

• In Myanmar, hybrid seeds dominated the seed market, holding a share of 62.46% in 2021 in terms of value. Of the hybrid seed segment in Myanmar, hybrid rice accounted for 1.28% in 2021. Globally, Myanmar is the seventh-largest rice producer and has the potential to become one of the largest exporters of rice globally.​
• Hybrids have higher productivity, wider adaptability, and a high degree of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. For instance, in rice, hybrids give 50% more yield than conventional varieties. The wider adaptability of hybrids is due to their high buffering capacity to environmental fluctuations. ​​
• The demand for organic produce is increasing, primarily due to the health benefits, chemical usage avoidance, and the changing lifestyle and patterns of food consumption among people. ​
• The non-availability of transgenic varieties for the cultivation of rice in the country, the 100% seed replacement rate for every season, food security concerns due to increasing population, and resistance to biotic and non-biotic stresses are driving the market for non-transgenic hybrids.​​
• In Myanmar, the open-pollinated varieties seed market is projected to grow by about 1.28% annually during the forecast period due to the low cost, high adaptability to local conditions, low input requirement, and timely non-availability of hybrids in all the crops.​​
• The Myanmar Rice Seed Project is developing different hybrids, supporting rice cultivars with various inputs, such as high-quality hybrids for rice cultivation in Myanmar. Major hybrid varieties are Paw San – Super Premium, Paw San – Premium, Emata rice/white rice, and Emata rice.​
• Hence, due to such factors, hybrids are expected to drive the country’s rice seed market during the forecast period.
