Latin America Crop Protection Chemicals Market

Market Overview:

The Latin America crop protection chemicals market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% during 2023-2028.

Crop protection chemicals refer to the agricultural products that are mainly used to manage plant diseases and prevent crop damage. These chemicals primarily include herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Crop protection chemicals aid in monitoring and controlling pests and diseases that may infect, consume, or damage crops. Furthermore, they also assist the farmers in managing crop productivity, improving overall yield, and enhancing food security. As a result, crop protection chemicals are utilized on various crop types, including cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, etc.

In Latin America, a significant growth in the agriculture sector along with the expansion of farmland is currently propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the growing consumption of plant-based food items is also driving the need for crop protection chemicals to maximize agricultural yield and improve food security. Additionally, the elevating levels of urbanization and limited availability of arable land, particularly across Brazil and Argentina, are further augmenting the demand for crop protection chemicals. In line with this, several government bodies across Latin America are focusing on lowering the need to convert natural areas, such as forests, native prairies, wetlands, wildlife habitat into farmlands. This has resulted in the growing adoption of crop protection chemicals for producing high agricultural yield per acre. Additionally, the extensive R&D activities for the launch of innovative product variants that are highly selective in their action to minimize the impact on non-target organisms are also bolstering the regional market. In the coming years, the emergence of bio-based crop protection chemicals to reduce the negative environmental impact of synthetic alternatives will continue to drive the market growth in Latin America.
