How Seed Industry is positioned in the US?
USA is the
third largest country in the world by area of lands its holds under its
jurisdiction. An estimated more than ~ million acre of land is used for
cropland where multiple crops are grown over the year. Corn, Soybean and Wheat
are the three major crops by the area under cultivation. Together they
accounted for more than ~ million acres of land under cultivation in 2018.
Nebraska had the largest share of U.S. irrigated area followed by California.
The industry has been inculcated with an increasing role of private seed
companies, growing presence of multinational seed companies with an enhanced
focus on biotechnology and extensive changes in regulatory frameworks which
have affected the seed marketing and trade over the years. Majority of the
irrigation facilities are located in the western part of the country which
accounts for more than ~% of the irrigated land in the US. The United States
has an average of ~ million acres of farm land and about ~ million farms on an
average. In the matured markets like that of the US, farm mechanization covers
100% large sized lands. Farms have become more specialized and mechanized by
the year 2018 due to which the number of commodities produced per farm has
decreased, the average farm size increased from ~ acres in 2012 to about ~
acres in 2018.
The major
grain crops in the US are planted during the period of May to July. Many major
US crops such as Cotton, Soybean and Corn are planted during the period. In
2018, more than ~- ~% of the US seed crops are planted using GM/GE/Hybrid
seeds.
The top five
companies merged with each other to form three large corporations. These
mergers were targeted with aim to integrate seed and crop protection business.
Major mergers and acquisitions between year 2016 and 2018 are Bayer-Monsanto at
USD ~ billion, BASF- Bayer at USD ~ billion, Dow-DuPont with a combined market
cap of USD ` billion, ChemChina- Syngenta at USD ~billion etc..
The revenue
at retail price generated from domestic sale of Seed
in the US Market increased from USD ~ billion in 2015 to ~ billion in
2018. The market was largely stagnant as it is highly matured and competitive.

Arkansas with ~% of GE plantation.
How Corn Seed Market Is Positioned in the US?
