In South Korea the size of vegetable farms is relatively large which will lead to more mechanisation of sowing and planting of crops. Specialised seedling production centers are growing and will use the latest technology available.

In China the use of higher value seeds is increasing. Disease and pest control based on coating and seed technologies will make an important contribution.

In Southeast Asia the use of hybrid varieties seems to be increasing. Filmcoating provides the means to improve disease control and the image of seed. The production of transplants could take off in the near future.

India proves to be a market with a large potential where the use of scientific knowledge is very important. With the introduction of higher value insecticides and higher value seeds like hybrid rice seed, the potential for INCOTEC’s technologies will increase further.

Hybrid varieties of some crops like white cabbage have become commodities. Utilising unique coating or pelleting technologies will allow seed companies to add more value for growers.
