Paul BENNETT - Sakata Seed America - USA

September 2002

From your perspective, what are currently the major issues, significant challenges and key opportunities in the seed industry?
  • Supplying the industry with disease free seed.
  • Creating disease resistant varieties.
  • IPR issues! Proactively protecting Sakata genetics and monitoring for infringement of protected Sakata genetics.
  • Continued consolidation of food distribution and resulting/parallel consolidation of growers.
  • Introduction of GMO products into the market place, but keeping our seed quality free from GMO contamination.
