Information @ a
Glance:
- Agrichemical (or
agrochemical) a contraction of agricultural chemical, is a generic term
for the various chemical products used in agriculture.
- The number of steps
and types of intermediates used in the synthesis of active agrochemical
substances varies widely.
- India is the second
largest producer of agrochemicals in Asia and is one of the most dynamic
generic pesticide manufacturers in the world. Out of 145 pesticides
registered in India, 85 of a technical grade are locally produced. India
is a global sourcing base for generic agrochemicals.
- India's agricultural
chemicals market is estimated at USD 650 million and is expected to grow
10 to 12 percent per year.
- The south Indian
State of Andhra Pradesh accounts for approximately 35 to 40 percent of
the total agrochemicals consumed in the country.
- There are an
estimated 30 major agricultural chemical manufacturers, and more than
600 smaller manufacturers in India.
- India is the third
largest producer and consumer of fertilizers in the world.
- Agrochemical
manufacturing is highly dependent upon both oil and gas.
- The production of
agro chemically active substances, let alone formulations and packaged
products, in this multi-step process involves several different
companies with varying chemical technologies spread out across the
world.
- In India and
Pakistan, 53% and 70% of total pesticides are consumed by cotton
respectively.
- In recent years, the
Indian agricultural chemicals market has experienced a shift from high
volume low priced agricultural chemicals to low volume high priced
chemicals.
- Though in recent
years, biological insecticide has developed fast, with the growth rate
of 20~40%, biological insecticide will not play a significant role in
the next 5~10 years, because of its high price of biological
insecticide.
The Products: chemicals
used in agricultural production mostly used as sprays to control
insects or other pests, weeds or plant diseases
