520			_aMaize is an important field crop in Asia with a cultivated area of 58.3 million hectares (m/ha) (in 2013). Area under maize has been increasing consistently in Asia (except in Central and West Asia). Asia requires more than a million tons of maize seed per year and the demand increases annually (Table 1). Even though the maize seed industry is vibrant in Asia, farmers in some countries in South and South East Asia, still use open-pollinated varieties (OPV) as there is a lack of a formal seed system for hybrid seed delivery. Even in countries like India, which has a very active and dynamic seed system, OPVs are still predominantly cultivated in some States.
