ROMANIA REMAINS AN ATTRACTIVE MARKET FOR THE MULTIPLICATION OF MAIZE SEEDS FOR SEEDING!

Abstract

The most significant change on the world planting seeds multiplication market is represented by seed multiplication at the nearest place possible from the outlet market, thus sacrificing the trade. This new approach made Romania a very attractive market for the multiplication of maize seeds to be sold on the EU markets as well as for Russia’s and FSU market. In the last 5 years, the amounts of maize seeds for export steadily increased. In spite of this, the individual holdings from Romania still use non-certified seeds for the establishment of maize crops. In order to remain attractive for maize seed multiplication, Romania has to continuously adjust its legislation according to the EU requirements, with regard to the accepted limit of genetically modified organisms, so that to be able to export to any country its maize planting seeds, multiplied here.
