Global Agrochemicals Market - Focus on Latin America : Industry Outlook 2021

Abstract
Rising population, continuous shrinking of arable land, insignificant improvement in farm productivity and crop loss/wastage both during and post-harvest poses acute challenges pertaining to global food security. Moreover, crop production globally has never been immune to pest infestations and diseases. Providing adequate food to global population while overcoming the challenges, it is imperative to raise agricultural production coupled with enhancement of productivity across the value chain. Crop protection plays an indispensable role amid increasingly hostile environment due to climate change accompanied with declining resources as well as other factors.

Various agrochemicals such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, bio-pesticides and others

(fumigants and rodenticides) are effectively used for protection and eradication of diseases from crops. Insecticides and fungicides are primarily used for fruits and vegetables, cereals and cotton.

Latin America is one of the world’s leading crop protection market due to growth in population, limited arable land, rising urbanization and demand for better and safe foods. Brazil and Argentina are the major crop protection markets in the region with significant projected growth rate over the forecasted period. Major market restraints to agrochemicals market in the region are stringent agrochemical regulations across major markets such as Brazil, Chile, etc., ecological changes in the region leading to pest attacks as well as declining economic growth of the region. Some of the leading industry trends and developments include use of precision spray technology for crop protection in Brazil, crop management solutions platform, structural shift in Brazilian agrochemicals market, focus on agricultural inoculant, etc.
