Understanding Rice Seeds and Their Applications
Rice seed refers to the living grain utilized for planting and cultivating rice crops. These seeds are the unhulled, uncooked grains selected from harvested rice. Beyond their agricultural use, rice seeds also serve as bioreactors for producing human pharmaceuticals, such as therapeutic proteins and peptides, highlighting their importance beyond traditional farming.

Environmental Challenges Fueling the Rice Seeds Market
Climate change is expected to be a significant factor driving growth in the rice seeds market. Defined as long-term changes in temperature, rainfall, wind, and other climatic conditions, climate change poses numerous challenges to agriculture. Climate-resilient rice seeds help farmers adapt by withstanding temperature fluctuations, irregular rainfall, and extreme weather events. Seeds that are drought-tolerant or flood-resistant play a vital role in securing food supply in regions vulnerable to water scarcity or flooding.
