Bayer: launch of organic vegetable seeds

(CercleFinance.com) - Bayer today announced that it will expand its vegetable seeds offerings under the new Vegetables by Bayer umbrella to include organically produced seed.


The launch will focus on certified organic production in three key crops for the greenhouse and glasshouse market: tomato, sweet pepper and cucumber. These will be followed by tomato rootstock varieties in 2023.

Bayer's expanded portfolio is in direct response to increased customer need for high-quality organic seed. Global consumer demand for certified-organic products continues to grow and is predicted to drive market expansion.

The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) estimates that today's global organic food market is worth more than E106 Billion. The global organic food seeds market was valued at $355M in 2020 and is expected to grow to $480M by 2025.
