Myanmar Maize Seed Market Analysis

The Myanmar Maize Seed Market size is estimated at USD 19.72 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 26.26 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Myanmar's corn seed market is experiencing growth due to increasing domestic and international demand for corn. The crop serves essential food, feed, and industrial purposes in Myanmar, with the expanding poultry and livestock sectors increasing the demand for animal feed, where corn is a key component.

Myanmar's corn exports, primarily to China, the Philippines, and Thailand, significantly influence the corn seed market. In 2023, Myanmar exported 1.18 million metric tons of corn to these countries, representing approximately 97% of its total corn exports, according to the ITC Trade Map. Farmers are increasingly adopting hybrid corn seeds for their higher yields and pest resistance, though some continue to use traditional varieties due to familiarity, cost considerations, and accessibility.

The market comprises local seed companies offering both hybrid and traditional seeds, leveraging their understanding of local agricultural conditions. International companies such as Syngenta and Bayer have established their presence, bringing new technologies and hybrid seeds. In 2024, Charoen Pokphand Produce Co., Ltd. (CPP) and Bangkok Produce PLC (BKP) implemented a traceability system in Myanmar's corn supply chain. This initiative, developed with the Myanmar Corn Industrial Association (MCIA), uses satellite imagery and blockchain technology, covering 570,000 acres in southern Shan State and ensuring traceability for seed and feed corn while promoting sustainable practices.

The Myanmar government supports the agricultural sector through various initiatives, including seed and fertilizer subsidies, irrigation infrastructure improvements, farmer training programs, and measures to enhance seed quality and certification processes. The market shows potential for growth in production and exports, supported by regional trade relationships. In June 2024, India initiated duty-free corn imports from Myanmar to meet its domestic demand requirements.
