Rising Awareness Regarding Health Benefits of Organic Products to Augment Sales of Forage Seeds

The rising awareness regarding the merits of consuming organic products is playing a vital role in the growth of the global forage seeds market. “People around the world are growing increasingly aware of the health risks, such as hypertension, obesity, cholesterol, and cancers, associated with genetically modified meat,” says a TMR analyst. “As a result, instead of altering properties of food products, manufacturers are focusing on the food habits of animals to meet the consumer demand”. The increasing consumption of meat and poultry products and the changing food habits are also stoking the growth of the market.

Apart from this, forage seeds are widely acknowledged by producers for their economic benefits. From the last few years, the revenue earning per acre from ryegrass production has been greater than that of other crops such as wheat and oats. Such facts and trends are likely to keep the demand for forage seeds high throughout the forecast horizon. Moreover, the introduction of high-quality forage seeds at reduced costs is stoking the growth of the market.

In several cases, the annual production of forages is hampered or contaminated by calamities such as drought, acidic soils, frost, certain herbicides, and nutrient deficiencies. These harvested seeds can lead to fatal problems for livestock such as nitrate toxicity. These factors, collectively, are restricting the global forage seeds market from realizing its full potential. On the other hand, the soaring demand for organic products owing to the increasing health consciousness is creating ample of lucrative opportunities for the market.
