Africa Seed Industry Segmentation
Hybrids, Open Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives are covered as segments by Breeding Technology. Open Field, Protected Cultivation are covered as segments by Cultivation Mechanism. Row Crops, Vegetables are covered as segments by Crop Type. Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania are covered as segments by Country.
- In 2022, hybrids had a higher share in the African seed market, accounted for 60.2% of the market. The high share of hybrids is due to the high yield and pest resistance.
- Non-transgenic hybrids accounted for 34.2% of the total seed market value in 2022. The non-transgenic hybrids' share increased by 3.4% in 2022 from the previous year.
- GMOs are gradually becoming a part of modern agriculture in Africa. Only 5 of 47 countries have approved the cultivation of GMO crops, including South Africa, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Egypt, and Nigeria.
- In an overall transgenic hybrid, herbicide-tolerant accounted for 42.7% of the African seed market in 2022. South Africa is the only country that allows herbicide-tolerant varieties. Soybean dominated the herbicide-tolerant transgenic seed market in South Africa, with a market share of 71.3% in terms of value, followed by corn (27.1%) and cotton (1.6%). In Africa, the area under herbicide tolerance was 297,607 hectares in 2022.
- In Africa, insect-resistant transgenic hybrids dominated the transgenic seed market by holding 57.3% of the market share value in 2022. South Africa had the largest insect-resistant transgenic seed market, with a market share of 92.1%, followed by Egypt with 6.8% in 2022.
- In 2022, out of the total seed market in Africa, the open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives seed market accounted for 39.8% in terms of value. The area under open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives in Africa was 30 million hectares in 2022, an increase of 8.1% since 2017 because of the low cost and usage of seeds for the next season. Moreover, the region has a high number of small-scale farmers, they mainly depend on local seeds such as OPVs for farming. Therefore, the demand for OPV's seeds is projected to increase in coming years.

Market Definition
- Commercial Seed - For the purpose of this study, only commercial seeds have been included as part of the scope. Farm-saved Seeds, which are not commercially labeled are excluded from scope, even though a minor percentage of farm-saved seeds are exchanged commercially among farmers. The scope also excludes vegetatively reproduced crops and plant parts, which may be commercially sold in the market.
- Crop Acreage - While calculating the acreage under different crops, the Gross Cropped Area has been considered. Also known as Area Harvested, according to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO), this includes the total area cultivated under a particular crop across seasons.
- Seed Replacement Rate - Seed Replacement Rate is the percentage of area sown out of the total area of crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm-saved seed.
- Protected Cultivation - The report defines protected cultivation as the process of growing crops in a controlled environment. This includes greenhouses, glasshouses, hydroponics, aeroponics, or any other cultivation system that protects the crop against any abiotic stress. However, cultivation in an open field using plastic mulch is excluded from this definition and is included under open field.
