Although the cold of January can be felt outside, the fire of spring planting has started to burn in the minds of our farmers. From Şanlıurfa to Adana, from the Aegean to GAP, everyone is after the same calculation: "Whatever I plant in the field this year, I will not lose, I will make money?"
The traditional era of "I plant what my father sows" is over. We are now in the era of "What does the market want, what will be my cost?" As RTS Seed , we are at your side with our high-yielding seeds in both product groups (Cotton and Corn). However, we recommend that you put the following 4 critical items on the scale when making a decision:
Climate projections for 2026 show that water will be more valuable than gold.
Corn (Loves Water): Grain corn requires regular and abundant water throughout the season for high yields. If you are low on well water or electricity costs are bending your back, corn cultivation can be risky.
Cotton (Contented): Cotton also loves water, but it is more tolerant of drought stress than corn. Especially RTS Seed's new generation cotton varieties can give higher yields with less water. In areas with a risk of water shortage, the needle is in favor of Cotton.
The expense items of the two products hurt from different places.
The Expense of Corn is Fertilizer: Corn is a plant that exploits the soil. For high tonnage, you need to use very serious Nitrogen (Urea/Nitrate). In years when fertilizer prices increase, the cost of corn increases.
The Expense of Cotton is Medicine: In cotton, pest control (Greenworm, Sucking Insects, Red Spider) is costly rather than fertilizer. If you have a sprayer and plenty of time, cotton is a good option.
Comfort of Corn: Egyptian agriculture is almost completely mechanized. The process ends from planting to harvest without human touch. Corn is "comfortable" agriculture for the farmer who has problems finding workers.
The Hassle of Cotton: Although machine harvesting is becoming more common, cotton can still require attention, follow-up, and sometimes (during hoeing/thinning periods) labor. Cotton can be challenging for the farmer who cannot stand at the head of the field.
You have to think not only about this year, but also about the year.
Alternation: If you have planted corn for years in a row, your soil may be tired and root diseases may have increased. Resting the soil by planting cotton this year (or vice versa) will actually bring the biggest profit. The diversity in the RTS Seed portfolio gives you this rotation opportunity.
Cotton (White Gold): The world textile market and fiber quality determine the price. Quality, high-yield RTS seeds always make a premium in the stock market.
Corn (Yellow Giant): It is the raw material of the feed industry and starch-based sugar. Consumption is guaranteed, easy to sell, and quick to convert into money.
The answer is not one, but specific to your field.
If you have plenty of water, little labor, and strong soil: EGYPT.
If your water is limited, your follow-up is good, your soil needs rest: COTTON.
Whatever decision you make, let RTS Seed be the seed that enters your field. Because whether cotton or corn; What determines the gain is the "Yield per Decare". That yield is also hidden in our genetics.
