Indonesia Seed Market

Indonesia Seed Market Overview:

The Indonesia seed market size reached USD 736 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 898.3 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.23% during ​2025-2033​. The rising agricultural demand, government support for food security, adoption of advanced seed technologies, increasing awareness of high-yield crops, and the growth of agricultural export opportunities are the factors propelling the growth of the market.

Indonesia Seed Market Trends:

Expanding Agricultural Land for Food Security

Governments are increasingly emphasizing large-scale agricultural growth to address diminishing farmland and rising food demand. The nation aim to increase self-sufficiency and rural employment by investing in advanced irrigation, high-quality seed, and mechanized farming. This change represents a strategic decision to protect the domestic food supply in the face of global uncertainty. Policies that encourage sustainable land usage and technical improvements seek to stabilize output while protecting farmer welfare. As food security concerns develop, governments are pursuing long-term strategies to balance urbanization and agricultural demands. Such programs underscore the importance of resilience, efficiency, and sustainability in feeding growing populations. For instance, in October 2024, Indonesia announced plans to expand 3 Million hectares of rice fields to address diminishing cropland and rising food demand. The effort, led by the president, focuses on enhanced irrigation, high-quality seeds, and automated farming to increase food self-sufficiency, generate jobs in rural regions, and sustain farmer livelihoods amid global food uncertainty.

Advancing Biotechnology for Higher Crop Yields

The advent of genetically modified seeds aimed at increasing production and efficiency has accelerated agricultural innovation. Governments and industry leaders are supporting seed types that provide increased yields, resistance to environmental stress, and low-cost agricultural solutions. Biotech crops, particularly those with herbicide resistance, are proving efficient in lowering input costs and increasing farmer revenue. Field trials indicate considerable production increases, highlighting the importance of modern seed technologies in ensuring food security. With a rising emphasis on sustainable farming, these advancements promote long-term agricultural stability and economic advantages to rural communities. The search for better seed types reflects a larger trend to modernize agriculture through science and technology. For example, in July 2023, Bayer Crop Science introduced herbicide-tolerant biotech corn Dekalb DK95R in Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The government encourages the development of unique seed types, highlighting their importance in enhancing agricultural output. Trials demonstrate that DK95R can increase yields by 30%, reducing input costs and improving farmer income.

Indonesia Seed Market News:

• In January 2025, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs encouraged universities to produce improved seed types to increase agricultural output. He emphasized working with BRIN and using SOE CSR funding to boost research. The focus includes food crops and high-value plantation crops such as coffee and cloves. Indonesia's rice output (5.29 tons/ha) is lower than Vietnam's (6.1 tons/ha) and China's (6.5 tons/ha), emphasizing the need for enhanced and pest-resistant seeds and periodic renewal every 7-8 years.
• In November 2024, The Ministry of Agriculture implemented DNA tracking technology to check the authenticity and quality of palm oil seeds, with the goal of increasing industrial production. The deputy minister reported that the project includes pre-planting inspections as well as the standardization and certification of high-quality seeds. Furthermore, the initiative would concentrate on eradicating counterfeit seeds and providing technical assistance to smallholder farmers, ensuring they have access to high-quality planting materials to boost yields and maintain the sector's expansion.
