Summary
Seeds4Organic (S4O) provides a centralised way to access and compare information on the European organic plant reproductive material (PRM) market. Its new functionalities allow users to review national species categorisation, consult annual derogation reports, explore organic and in-conversion PRM availability and cultivar information, and connect with national databases. By combining these data sources, suppliers, authorities and other stakeholders can identify recurring market gaps, monitor regulatory developments and better assess opportunities for increasing organic seed and PRM production.
