Vegetable seeds are the mature and ripened ovules or seeds of flowering plants that are specifically cultivated for human consumption. These seeds are a crucial component of agriculture, as they are used to grow plants that produce edible parts such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, commonly consumed as vegetables. Vegetable seeds come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and they have specific characteristics that determine the traits of the resulting plants. Increased urbanization, evolving dietary habits, and the rising popularity of kitchen gardens expanded the market landscape. The growing focus on genetically modified seeds to enhance crop yield and resistance to pests, diseases, and adverse climatic conditions is another key factor in market growth. However, stringent regulations on genetically modified (GM) seeds and environmental concerns hamper the market growth. Moreover, intensive research and development activities in genetic engineering and several initiatives by governments and international organizations to support sustainable agricultural practices and ensure food security have bolstered the vegetable seeds market. This innovation, coupled with enhanced seed production, storage, and distribution technology, provides unprecedented opportunities for market expansion.
