Middle East and Africa Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plant Market Definition

Plant breeding is technique used by cultivator to develop or improve the crop variety and to increase its yield by manipulating the plant genome with the help of conservatory or molecular tools in order to get the desired gene or trait. Plant breeding technique uses site directed nucleases to transform or target the DNA into desired DNA with extreme perfection. CRISPR is a technology used in plant breeding, where a CRISPR-Cas gene derived from the prokaryote is use to alter the plant genome in order to create the germplasm with superior and beneficial traits. The crop produced by plant breeding or CRISPR technology possess traits such as high yield, better quality than traditional crop, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, climatic tolerance and others. Additionally, the plant breeding methods are used to create crop which offer variety of benefits such as, higher yield, better quality disease resistance and others. Also, plant breeding and CRISPR technique is the best option for the sustainable crop production.

Middle East and Africa Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plant Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:    

Drivers

• Rise In R&D For Plant Breeding & CRISPR Plants

Plant breeding is a technique to change the traits of plants by introducing the desired traits in the plants by targeting and transforming the DNA with extreme perfection. Plant breeding is used to enhance the crop production and to improve the nutritional quality of crop for human or animal consumption. CRISPR is one of the main and important technology used in plant breeding as it offers applications such as improved quality, yield, provide disease and herbicide resistance. With the increase in demand of modified crops in order to increase the yield and enhance the quality of crop and to reduce the crop damage, there is in increase in the research and development for plant breeding & CRISPR plants in region. The growing demand of crops or plants produced by plant breeding or CRISPR technique among farmers in to produce high quality crop is leading to the growth of research & development for plant breeding & CRISPR plants.

The increase in the research and developments activity for plant breeding and CRISPR plants is increasing the growth of plant breeding & CRISPR plants in region.

• Surge In Middle East and Africa Population Leading To Increase The Demand Of Food Production

The growing population is one of the main driving factor for the plant breeding & CRISPR plants.  As with the growing population the demand for the food is increasing and there are more number of people to feed which is increasing the need for new technology i.e. plant breeding. The increased demand of food can be fulfilled by increasing the yield of the crop and also by improving the quality, which is only possible with the plant breeding and CRISPR technology. The demand for improved plant varieties is increasing among farmers as well as people to eliminate the food scarcity problem with growing population in MEA. The plant breeding & CRISPR plants is the only way to increase the production of crop with better quality to feed more number of mouths in MEA. Thus, rising population is increasing the demand of plant breeding & CRISPR plants market.

Therefore, the increase in population is creating the demand of more crop production which leads to the growth of the plant breeding & CRISPR plants market in MEA.

Restraint

• High Costs Associated With The Modern Breeding Techniques As Compared To Conventional Breeding Techniques

Conventional breeding relies on mixing traits from different populations within a species and then selecting the entire natural plant for genetic elements. Modern breeding methods often involve in vitro techniques and/or molecular biology in one or more stages of the breeding process. This article describes several techniques including embryo rescue, in vitro selection, somaclonal variation, double haploids and chromosome elimination, and transformation/genetic engineering. Plant breeding is often referred to as a numbers game, and major competitive commodity programs invest heavily in efficient seed treatment, planting, grading, and harvesting methods. As genetic gains accumulate, the bar is gradually raised, and greater and greater investment is required to keep genetic development stable.

Opportunity

• Fluctuating Whether Condition Will Increase The Opportunity For Plant Breeding & CRISPR Technique

Fluctuating whether conditions is damaging the crop and results in major crop loss which is creating the opportunity for plant breeding & CRISPR plants in MEA. As with the help of plant breeding & CRISPR technique the tolerance against the climatic condition such as drought, heavy rainfall and others could be developed which will help resisting the climatic loss to crops. The demand of new variety of crop which offers resistance against harsh climatic condition is on rise which is creating the opportunities for plant breeding & CRISPR plants in MEA. The increase in loss of crop due to harsh climatic condition is creating the major opportunities for the market.

Therefore, the increase in number of crop damage due to harsh climatic condition is increasing the demand of plant breeding & CRISPR plants and creating the opportunity for the plant breeding & CRISPR plants market.

Challenge

• Unorganized Retail Network

The retail network of agriculture has witnessed a drastic transformation over the period of time. It has grown from a short cycle to complicated and complex chain. With is fast growth in agriculture retail sector, it has created gaps in the supply chain and leave them ineffective. The unorganised retail network includes

• Poor management quality
• Exhausting procurement process
• Highly developed technologies
• Poor assortment & high pricing
• Lack of understanding of high technology instruments

Retail network contributes to the larger segment of agriculture and this unorganized and high developed retail sector is affecting the small farmers and local farmers as well. The highly developed equipment and lack of knowledge about them makes it hard for the small farmers.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plant Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had little impact on the plant breeding and CRISPR Plants market, owing primarily to transportation constraints. The government has exempted all types of agricultural activities from the impact of lockdowns or disruptions, so there has been no such effect of the corona outbreak. Indeed, agrochemical companies have made double-digit profits compared to last year, owing to farmers' panic buying. Growing farmer awareness of the benefits of plant breeding has resulted in government support. Multiple seed banks are managed by developing-country governments at the national and village levels in order to store seeds that have been properly treated with seed treatment chemicals, preventing seed rotting.

Recent Developments

• In August 2022, Bayer expanded existing investment to acquire majority stake in sustainable low-carbon oilseed producer CoverCress Inc. This investment fulfileds Bayer's sustainability commitments and can help reduce agricultural carbon emissions and reduce dependence on nitrogen fertilizers by leveraging the expertise of existing investors, Bunge and Chevron/farmers to gain new revenue streams through the potential commercialization of oilseeds into renewable fuels and animal feed that deliver ecosystem benefits through cover crops, leveraging Bayer's existing investment in CoverCress Inc.. This has helped company to expand its business.
