This study analyzes the seed, feed, energy, fertilizer, and plant protection agents farm input sectors from two perspectives: the demand side and the supply side. Average input shares in the EU-27 for seeds and fertilizers declined while they increased for feeds. Market concentration is the largest in the plant protection agents sector followed by the energy sector, and lowest in the feed sector.

This short note will focus first on the EU seed and Plant Reproductive Material (PRM) market, insisting on the size of seed companies, as well as on its segmentation, which has to be taken into account in market shares analysis. Market shares will be assessed in different seed segments. In a second section, the EU sector will be placed in a global perspective, which will highlight some of the European specificities, such as the non-GM nature of its seed market.
