Open-pollinated varieties dominate the market, and hybrid seed usage is increasing due to high yield and disease-resistant characteristics
- In Africa, open-pollinated varieties dominated the market in 2022, with a share of 55.1% of the total vegetable seed market, and hybrid vegetable seeds occupied a share of 44.9%. This is mainly due to an increase in the demand for vegetable production. The higher yield of hybrid seeds is driving the African vegetable seed market.
- In 2022, under the hybrid seeds market, the Solanaceae segment accounted for the highest share in terms of value, with 54.3%, of the regional vegetable seed market. At the crop level, tomatoes and onions are the major vegetable crops in terms of value, accounting for shares of around 47.8% and 5.5%, respectively, of the hybrid vegetable seed market in 2022. The market for hybrid seeds is primarily driven by the modernization of agriculture and the development of new products. The expansion of the organic farming area for vegetables in Africa is contributing to the growth of non-transgenic hybrids.
- The total area under open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives in African vegetable production increased between 2017 and 2022 by more than 2%. The increase was mainly because of the rise in the usage of OPVs in minor vegetable crops in rural and semi-urban areas.
- In 2022, unclassified vegetables accounted for about 30.9% of the region's open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives vegetable seed market. The crops included native types of asparagus, artichokes, and other vegetables.

Nigeria dominates the African vegetable seed market with higher area under cultivation and usage of commercial seeds
- In 2022, vegetables held a lower share of the African seed market, accounting for 20.8% in terms of value. The cultivation area under vegetable production in Africa increased from 41 million ha in 2017 to 48 million ha in 2022, owing to the increase in the demand for vegetables, high return on investment, and new technologies.
- Nigeria is the major vegetable seed market in the region. In 2022, it accounted for a 60.4% share of the African vegetable seed market. This large share is mainly due to the high adoption of vegetable cultivation in the country, the increasing consumption demand, and the growing area under cultivation. For instance, the vegetable cultivation area in the country increased from 18.1 million hectares in 2017 to 21.9 million hectares in 2022.
- Egypt is the second major market in the region, with a share of 12.3% in 2022. The cultivation area of vegetables in Egypt increased from 0.9 million hectares in 2017 to 1.0 million hectares in 2022. The increase was mainly due to the increased availability of high-yielding cultivars in the market. The sales of vegetable seeds are expected to increase during the forecast period.
- South Africa is one of the major vegetable-producing countries in the region. The country grows vegetables to a large extent due to the high demand for vegetables from other countries, such as the Netherlands and China. In 2022, the major vegetable crops grown in the country were chili (15.7%), lettuce (13.7%), and pumpkin and squash (13.6%). The other major countries in the region are Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Ghana.
- Therefore, with the increase in demand for vegetables due to the increasing area under vegetable farming, the vegetable seed market is anticipated to record a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.
Africa Vegetable Seed Market Trends
Roots and bulbs are the leading segment in the vegetable cultivation area, primarily driven by the extensive cultivation of onion and potatoes
- In 2022, the area cultivated for vegetables in Africa accounted for 18.6% of the total area under cultivation in Africa. This is because farmers in the region prefer to cultivate row crops as the vegetables require more water for cultivation than for row crops. Additionally, frequent drought conditions in Africa also restrain vegetable cultivation.
- Roots & bulbs accounted for 84.9% of the African vegetable acreage in 2022. This was because the region's diverse agro-climatic zones provide favorable conditions for root & bulb cultivation, particularly for crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, yam, and taro. Additionally, the stability of the roots & bulbs market, combined with its consistent demand, makes it an attractive option for many African farmers. As a result, the acreage for this segment is estimated to reach 46.5 million ha in 2030. Unclassified vegetables accounted for the second largest acreage in Africa, with a share of 7.5% of the overall region's cultivation area in 2022. This is because of the region's high consumption of okra and peas. Additionally, okra and peas are well-suited to African climates and are relatively easy to grow.
- In 2022, Nigeria accounted for the major land for vegetable cultivation in Africa, with a share of 42.7% (21.9 million ha). This is because the country has the largest geographical area in Africa and has fertile soils, which are highly suitable for vegetable cultivation.
- Therefore, the diverse agro-climatic zones, favorable conditions for vegetable cultivation, and consistent demand for vegetables are estimated to expand the cultivation area in Africa during the forecast period.

Disease resistance is a highly preferred trait in cabbage and peas cultivation because it can combat prevalent diseases such as black rot in cabbages and floral diseases in peas
- Cabbage is one of Africa's most widely cultivated exotic leafy vegetables. The demand from restaurants for fresh salads, soups, sautees, and typical summer vegetables drives the demand for cabbage. Farmers cultivate cabbage using high-quality seeds with multiple desirable traits due to the growing demand for high-quality foods.
- Seed varieties with traits such as uniformity in head size, foliage color, adaptability to different growing conditions, early maturity, and disease tolerance are boosting the market's growth due to higher preference by the growers in the region. In cabbage, black rot is the major disease in the region caused by Xanthomonas campestris PV. Campestris (XCC) results in 10-50% yield losses. Major players in the market, such as Bayer AG, BASF SE, Sakata Seeds Corporation, and Syngenta Group, offer cultivars that resist diseases, including black rot, mildews, and other leaf diseases, along with higher productivity. These seed varieties are witnessing high demand to prevent crop losses.
- Peas are an important crop in many parts of the African region. Farmers cultivate pea seeds that resist fungal, viral, and nematode infections. These seeds are also known for their wider adaptability to different growing conditions, especially stressful conditions. They possess high peas per pod and desirable pod shape and size.
- Therefore, introducing new seed varieties with traits such as disease resistance, wider adaptability, etc., along with high yield, is projected to boost the growth of the seed market during the forecast period.

Africa Vegetable Seed Industry Segmentation
Hybrids, Open Pollinated Varieties & Hybrid Derivatives are covered as segments by Breeding Technology. Open Field, Protected Cultivation are covered as segments by Cultivation Mechanism. Brassicas, Cucurbits, Roots & Bulbs, Solanaceae, Unclassified Vegetables are covered as segments by Crop Family. Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania are covered as segments by Country.
- In Africa, open-pollinated varieties dominated the market in 2022, with a share of 55.1% of the total vegetable seed market, and hybrid vegetable seeds occupied a share of 44.9%. This is mainly due to an increase in the demand for vegetable production. The higher yield of hybrid seeds is driving the African vegetable seed market.
- In 2022, under the hybrid seeds market, the Solanaceae segment accounted for the highest share in terms of value, with 54.3%, of the regional vegetable seed market. At the crop level, tomatoes and onions are the major vegetable crops in terms of value, accounting for shares of around 47.8% and 5.5%, respectively, of the hybrid vegetable seed market in 2022. The market for hybrid seeds is primarily driven by the modernization of agriculture and the development of new products. The expansion of the organic farming area for vegetables in Africa is contributing to the growth of non-transgenic hybrids.
- The total area under open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives in African vegetable production increased between 2017 and 2022 by more than 2%. The increase was mainly because of the rise in the usage of OPVs in minor vegetable crops in rural and semi-urban areas.
- In 2022, unclassified vegetables accounted for about 30.9% of the region's open-pollinated varieties and hybrid derivatives vegetable seed market. The crops included native types of asparagus, artichokes, and other vegetables.
- The increase in area under cultivation and an increase in the demand for vegetables are estimated to drive the hybrid seed market during the forecast period with a CAGR of 5.7%.

Market Definition
- Commercial Seed - For the purpose of this study, only commercial seeds have been included as part of the scope. Farm-saved Seeds, which are not commercially labeled are excluded from scope, even though a minor percentage of farm-saved seeds are exchanged commercially among farmers. The scope also excludes vegetatively reproduced crops and plant parts, which may be commercially sold in the market.
- Crop Acreage - While calculating the acreage under different crops, the Gross Cropped Area has been considered. Also known as Area Harvested, according to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO), this includes the total area cultivated under a particular crop across seasons.
- Seed Replacement Rate - Seed Replacement Rate is the percentage of area sown out of the total area of crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm-saved seed.
- Protected Cultivation - The report defines protected cultivation as the process of growing crops in a controlled environment. This includes greenhouses, glasshouses, hydroponics, aeroponics, or any other cultivation system that protects the crop against any abiotic stress. However, cultivation in an open field using plastic mulch is excluded from this definition and is included under open field.
