NAVIGATING THE ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE TREND

In recent years, one trend has fundamentally reshaped our industry: the important surge in demand for organic and sustainable food products.

It is a global movement driven by conscious consumers, progressive policies, and a deeper understanding of our planet’s well-being.

Statistics from various market analysis reports paint a clear picture of exponential growth.
The global organic food market is projected to reach unprecedented valuations, with double

digit growth rates in key regions.

In Europe, countries like Germany, France and Italy are leading the change, with a significant increase in both organic farmland and consumer spending.

Similarly, the North American market continues its robust expansion, while emerging economies in Asia are showing a growing appetite for organic products. This growth is not confined to a single crop or region: it’s a systemic shift influencing  every segment of the food supply chain.

This trend is further fueled by evolving regulatory frameworks.
The European Green Deal, for instance, sets ambitious targets for organic farming, signaling a strong political commitment to sustainable agriculture.
This presents a unique and exciting set of opportunities for vegetable  seed companies and seed distributors .
The demand for organic food begins with the seed. Traditional varieties may not always thrive under organic conditions, which often involve different soil management, pest control, and nutrient strategies.
This can create a critical need for new, resilient seed varieties specifically selected or bred for organic and low-input farming systems.
SAIS is responding to this by offering a growing range of untreated seeds or seeds produced under organic conditions .
We  are investing in our R&D, focusing on traits such as natural disease resistance, drought tolerance, and efficient nutrient uptake.
Our goal is to provide farmers with the best possible genetic tools to succeed in this demanding yet rewarding market.
Seed companies must ensure a reliable and certified organic seed supply, including certification and traceability protocol , to meet the growing demand, which requires meticulous planning and investment in production facilities and logistics.
In conclusion, the rise of organic and sustainable agriculture is more than a market trend; it’s a call to action , to be a part of a positive change, contributing to a healthier planet and a more resilient food system.
