Garden seeds are used for growing flowers, vegetables, fruits, and other plants in a garden setting. These seeds are the fundamental input for starting a garden and can range widely in variety, from basic vegetable seeds to exotic and heirloom species. The garden seeds market is driven by a growing interest in home gardening and urban farming, stimulated by a desire for sustainable and self-sufficient living practices.

Additionally, technological advancements in seed treatment and genetic modification have enhanced seed quality, boosting their demand. The aesthetic appeal of home gardens and the rising popularity of ornamental gardening also contribute to market growth. However, high costs associated with the production of quality garden seeds hinder market growth.
