India Crop Protection Market Overview

Summary
This report gives an in-depth analysis of crop
protection industry in India. Crop protection is
the science and practice of managing plant
diseases, weeds and other pests (both vertebrate
and invertebrate) that damage agricultural crops
and forestry. Agricultural crops include field
crops (maize, wheat, rice, etc.), vegetable crops
(potatoes, cabbages, etc.) and fruits. The crops
in field are exposed to many factors. Insects,
birds, rodents, bacteria, etc may damage the crop
plants. Crop protection encompasses
pesticide-based approaches such as herbicides,
insecticides and fungicides.

While farmers have been doing pest management
since the onset of agricultural production, the
discovery of the pesticidal properties of
synthetic chemicals in the middle of the 20th
century has transformed agriculture.
Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT) is
perhaps the best known chemical pesticide. DDT
was discovered as an insecticide in 1939 and was
used extensively in agriculture, and for public
health program. Subsequently, other insecticides,
herbicides, and fungicides were developed. Their
large-scale use started in farming in
industrialized countries, resulting in large
increases in production and/or cost savings on
labor.

The first Green Revolution, which began in the
1960s, made high yielding crop varieties
available to developing countries, especially in
Asia. Exploitation of the production potential of
these varieties stimulated the use of fertilizer
and pesticides. This dynamic led to large
increases in food production in many countries
but also to growing pesticide use. India is the
fourth largest producer of agrochemicals
globally, after United States, Japan and China.
The crop protection industry is a significant
industry for the Indian economy. According to
India Crop Protection Market Overview, the crop
protection market grew with a CAGR of 4.46
between the periods 2010 to 2015.

Indias pesticides consumption is one of the
lowest in the world with per hectare consumption
of just 0.60 Kg compared to UK (5 Kg/ha) and
Japan (12 Kg/ha). In India, paddy accounts for
the maximum share of pesticide consumption,
followed by cotton. Indian population is
increasing and the per capita size of land
decreasing, thus the use of pesticides in India
has to improve further. Besides increasing in
domestic consumption, the exports by the Indian
crop protection industry can be doubled in the in
coming years if proper strategies and
sophisticated technologies are adopted by the
industry.

The industry is seeing various strategic
alliances between the major players regarding
research and development to come up with new
molecules, as the cost is huge joining hands
enables the market players to remain cost
competitive. Key Product Type Insecticide
Herbicide Fungicide Bio-pesticide Others
