Recent mergers in the seed industry have led to concerns about market
concentration and its potential effects on prices, product choice, and
innovation. This study provides new and detailed empirical evidence on the
degree of market concentration in seed and GM technology across a broad range
of crops and countries, and analyses the causes and potential effects of
concentration. It also explains how competition authorities have responded to
mergers, and suggests policy options to help safeguard and stimulate
competition and innovation in plant breeding by avoiding unnecessary
regulatory barriers, by facilitating access to genetic resources and
intellectual property, as well as by stimulating public and private R&D.; As
this study shows, policy makers have several levers besides competition policy
to ensure an innovative and competitive seed industry.
