Crop protection market in South Africa has been supported by the increase in overall
production, domestic consumption and export of crop in the country.
The rise in demand of food products by the ever increasing population and increasing
trend of organic farming will lead the growth of the South African crop protection
market in the upcoming years.
South Africa crop protection market is expected to show promising growth over the next
five years on account of gradual increase in consumption within the country and export of
crops and food products to other African countries. The SADC countries are fast growing
markets and a great opportunity for the South African crops and food products; especially
the demand for cereal and forage crops and their products. Efforts have been done by the
government to support growth in the overall industry. The demand for bio-pesticides and
other environment friendly crop protection products is likely to increase owing to the rising
trend of organic farming in the country.
South Africa is a major importer of crop protection products. ADAMA Arysta Life Science,
BASF, Bayer Crop Sciences, Dow Agro Sciences, UPL South Africa and Du Pont are the
major players in the market. These players and a few others are continuously innovating
and developing newer varieties of pesticides that have the minimalistic impact on the
environment & human health and protect the crop from insects, pests and rodents. The use
of modern technology like drones for spraying will lead the industry in the future. The trend
for spraying pesticides has already picked up in the country. These innovative products
with enhanced properties are likely to further accelerate the growth of the industry in the
future. The global and local companies are expected to increase their production and
imports of crop protection products gradually and in line with the increase in domestic
consumption.
