The percentage of the public sector producing seeds in the nation fell from 42.72 percent in 2017–18 to 35.54 percent in 2020–21, while the percentage of the private sector increased from 57.28 percent to 64.46 percent over the same time period, underscoring the growing importance of private businesses in India's seed industry. During the forecast period 2022-2027, the Indian seeds market is estimated to expand at a 6.8 percent CAGR. With regard to the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the seed business, farmers faced the biggest obstacle in finding high-quality seeds.
There were major repercussions for farmers as a result of the epidemic and the government-imposed limits on the production, certification, and international trading of seeds. Vegetable seeds had the largest contribution to the sec¬tor's total revenue in 2021, accounting for 30 percent of the total. Cotton made up the next largest portion, at roughly 18 percent, followed by maize at 13 percent, and rice at 10 percent.
