Non-GMO Papaya Seed Market Booming with Demand from Emerging Markets

Non-GMO Seeds helps in maintaining the underlying basis for organic agriculture and interaction of the ecological effects of the inputs into our food supply. Non-GMO Seeds are preferred over GMO seeds because of the negative impact of GMO seeds on ecology and human body. One of the biggest problem with genetically modified seed is the genetic engineering in which a gene is inserted into the DNA of food plant is random and scientists have no idea where the gene goes. This engineering can disrupt the functioning of other genes and can create novel proteins which are not there in our food supply and can create toxins and allergies in human body. Non-GMO seed is commonly misguided as organic seed, organic seed is 95%-100% organic (might contain up to 5% non-organic components which are not supposed to be GMO) whereas, non-GMO seed can still contain a certain amount of GMO. Non-GMO Seed in US is certified by “Non-GMO project” whereas organic and GMO seeds are certified and regulated by federal authorities. Despite of all the positive and negative things, Non-GMO seed market have witnessed an exponential growth in US market which is expected to continue because of high demand among the farmers and backyard farmers.

However, Non-GMO papaya seed comes along with a number of restraints. Crop produced by Non-GMO papaya seed still can persist use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, residue of hexane, sewage sludge, growth promoting antibiotics and ractopamine drug residue which are harmful for nature and humans. The commercial scale production of Non-GMO papaya seeds needs to be reviewed carefully because a change in the quality of seed can change the quality of crop and finished food product. Changes in water sources and quality of water and growth methods are the most important factors to be taken care of in crop production.

Non-GMO papaya seed market have an opportunity to replace GMO papaya seed because of changing food preferences and health hazards. Non-GMO papaya seed can give tough competition to organic seed market which are costly and requires special care because a slight problem can destroy the whole crop or a part of it.
