Middle East and Africa Agricultural Biotechnology Market Size
The Middle East and Africa Agricultural Biotechnology Market size was valued at USD 4.76 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 5.27 billion in 2026 to reach USD 11.96 billion by 2034, estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.78% from 2026 to 2034.
Transgenic crops increase agricultural productivity and benefit producers, consumers, and farmers in terms of improved yield and crop quality. Genetically modified or transgenic crops are among the top end users of agricultural biotechnology. Agricultural biotechnology could advantage consumers and also producers, and farmers.
MARKET DRIVER
The transgenic cropping method offers more crop varieties to consumers than cross-pollination or any natural process can offer. It provides higher & improved yield, resistance to pests, longer shelf life, and high nutritional value, due to which the food grains demand supply gap is reduced. This is expected to drive the market. An increase in the demand for biofuel due to exhaustion of conventional resources is further expected to fuel the market growth.
