Egypt Seed Treatment Market is
anticipated to grow significantly rate in the projected period of 2028, which
is driven by the increasing demand for food specially cereals & grain such
as wheat, rice, and maize. In 2021, the wheat consumption in Egypt
amounted to 20.5 million metric tons.
Egypt Seed Treatment Market is
expected to expand during the projected period due to increasing demand for
food such as cereals & grain as these play a vital role in the diet of
human and animals. Seed treatments aim to eliminate/reduce inoculum levels
and/or disease development from seedborne fungi that are present on or within
seeds, without affecting the viability and germination/emergence capacity of
seed.
Egypt Seed Treatment Market is a
dynamic and competitive sector that offers opportunities for growth and
innovation. The market players are focusing on expanding their product
portfolio, enhancing their quality standards, improving their distribution
network, and increasing their market share. The market is expected to witness
new entrants and collaborations among the existing players in the forecasted
period.
Merger and acquisition activity in
the Seed Treatment Market in Egypt has been focused on expanding product
offerings, strengthening market position, and enhancing companies' presence in
the region. These acquisitions have allowed companies to better serve their
customers and meet the growing demand for Seed Treatment in Egypt.
Rising Demand for Food Dominate the
Market Growth
Egypt is a country with a long
history of agriculture, with rapid urbanization and growing population led to
increase in the demand for food. To fulfil this demand farmers are looking for
ways to increase food production, while minimizing losses due to pests and
diseases. Seed treatment products help farmers to achieve this goal by
protecting their crops from pests and diseases and increasing their yields. In
respect of food, cereals and grains are a key dominant sector as it has been an
essential part of the diet for thousands of years. Even today, the demand for
cereals and grains in Egypt remains high. The main cereal crops grown in Egypt
include wheat, maize, and rice. Wheat is the most important crop, accounting
for over half of Egypt's cereal production. Maize and rice are grown, but in
smaller quantities. The country is a significant producer of other grains such
as barley and sorghum. Wheat is grown in large area, in comparison to rice. The
demand for cereals and grains in Egypt is driven by the country's growing food
processing industry. Processed food products such as bread, pasta, and
breakfast cereals are popular among Egyptian consumers, and these products
often contain large quantities of wheat and other grains.
For instance, in March 2023, Syngenta
Crop Protection partners with Aphea.Bio introduced a new biostimulant seed
treatment set to boost wheat yields with reduced fertilizer use.
The Egyptian government has taken
steps to promote domestic cereal production in recent years. These efforts
include the expansion of irrigation systems, the provision of subsidies to
farmers, and the development of new technologies to improve crop production.
However, these efforts have not been enough to meet the country's growing
demand for cereals and grains.
Due to the country's large
population, and the fact that wheat is a staple food in the Egyptian diet, the
demand for wheat is high in the region. Thus, to overcome the rising demand for
wheat, Egypt relies heavily on import from Russia, Romania, Ukraine, and
Australia to meet their population needs. In addition to wheat, Egypt imports
significant quantities of other grains such as maize and soybeans. These grains
are primarily used for animal feed, as Egypt is a significant producer of
poultry, beef, and dairy products.
For instance, in 2022, the Egyptian
government increased the procurement price and announced the early supply of
wheat providing an attempt to hold the strategic reserves.
Moreover, growing demand for
nutrient-dense and residue-free food products due to growing health awareness,
socio-economic changes increases the adoption of precision agriculture
techniques which helped farmers to increase the yield of crop thus, the use of
seed treatments technology help in improving agriculture productivity as it
protects the germinating seed and seedlings from seed-borne or soil-borne
pathogenic organisms and storage insects as well as enable the uniform growth
of crops in adverse conditions.
Therefore, the increasing demand for
food specially cereals & grain led to the growth of Egypt Seed Treatment
Market in the projected year.
Growing Demand for Biological Seed
Treatment
With increasing demand for
eco-friendly, biological, and sustainable techniques which help to increase the
life of seeds as well as growing quality and quantity of food & crops the
demand of biostimulants increases. Biostimulants are natural or synthetic
substances that can be applied to seeds, plants, and soil. These substances
cause changes in vital and structural processes to influence plant growth
through improved tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salt, and
instances of exposure to extremely high temperatures and increase seed and/or
grain yield and quality. Biostimulants help to improve nutrient uptake,
nutrient utilization efficiency (NUE) and quality attributes, as well as
increase nutrient presence in the soil or rhizosphere. Moreover, biostimulants
are gaining popularity because they activate many physiological processes that
improve nutrient use efficiency, promote plant growth, and reduce the
consumption of fertilizers, which increases yield without degrading plant
quality.
For instance, in January 2022, Bayer
Crop Science introduced Ambition a first biostimulant, a formulation of a crop
supplement containing amino acids and fulvic acids which helps crops reach
their full potential by optimizing nutrient efficiency, strengthening plant
defense mechanisms, and improving crop performance.
Therefore, increasing demand for
bio-based seed treatment techniques increases the demand of Egypt Seed
Treatment Market in the upcoming years.
Increasing Demand for Seed Dressing
Technique
Seed dressing plays an important role
in the seed treatment area as it allows the seed to germinate quicker than
non-treated seeds. Seed dressing boost easy mixing with beneficial soil
microorganisms, such as mycorrhizae, which helps in the absorption of nutrient.
It limits seed infection and protects the crop from foliar infection, thereby
reducing the disease pressure later in the season, making in-crop fungicides
more effective, and reducing potential loss of yield and quality during grain
fill.
However, many farmers in the country
rely on traditional farming methods and are unaware of the advantages of using
seed treatment products. This lack of awareness limits the demand for seed
treatment products and hinders the growth of the market. Along with it, there
is limited availability of high-quality seed treatment products in the country.
Many international seed treatment companies are investing in the Egyptian
market, the availability of high-quality products is still limited. This led to
a lack of choice for farmers and limited their options for selecting the best
products for their crops.
In addition, the Egyptian government
has introduced regulations governing the use of seed treatment products, which
can be complex and difficult to navigate. This creates a barrier to entry for
smaller seed treatment companies and limits their ability to compete in the
market which restrains the growth of the market. Moreover, the use of certain
seed treatment products has harmful effects on the environment, such as soil and
water pollution. This led to negative impacts on ecosystems and public health.
Thus, the industry needs to ensure that the products used are environmentally
sustainable and do not have harmful impacts as well as entering of many
domestic and international players in the market, leading to fluctuation in the
pricing of the products resulting in slowing down the market growth.
