The global forage corps market is expected to witness
substantial growth during the forecast period. The forage corps market is
primarily driven by growing demand for forage feed that is used to feed
livestock. In addition, increasing global meat consumption and economic
benefits derived from cultivation of forage seed have led to the further rise
in demand for forage seeds globally. Apart from this, rising demand for organic
meat in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle has been creating future growth
opportunities for the forage seed market.

specific regions. Geographically, North America held the key market share of
the forage seed market in 2013, accounting for 33.5% market share in terms of
revenue. Market growth in this region is attributed to the increasing demand
