"The regulatory environment will play a crucial role in shaping the introduction of new technologies"

How do you envision the future of the seed industry in the APAC region?

The seed market In India is highly dynamic, and our focus is on four key crops: rice, mustard, millet and corn. These crops present great opportunities as they continue to experience growth. The driving force behind this growth is the farmers’ constant need to push forward and enhance productivity. The market is customer-driven, with farmers always seeking the next best solution and asking us for ways to improve. It is a relatively mature market, and our presence in the seed industry spans 50 years. While the market’s development may not be as rapid as some others, we have played a significant role in innovating and establishing hybrid mustard.

What are the company's strategies and plans for expanding the seed treatment segment in the Asian market?
