The high cost of organic seeds compared to conventional seeds is a major restraint for the organic seed market. Farmers may be hesitant to switch to organic seeds due to the higher initial investment required. Moreover, the limited availability of organic seeds for certain crops can also pose a challenge for the market, as it may restrict the adoption of organic farming practices in certain regions or for specific crops.
