Hi there,
Does anyone have an idea how prevalent bybrids are in today's agriculture?
I am looking for percentages of hybrids used by farmers on a global
scale(for the major crop stables like corn, rice, wheat etc). In other
words, what percentage of corn is hybrid corn, what percentage of rice is
hybrid rice etc ... Ideally broken down by countries, but country-specific
data sets fine too. A reputable reference would be best.

Thank you very much in advance,

Cheers,

Virtually all the corn in the U.S. is hybrids.
