Key HighlightsIndia is a largely agrarian country with more than 50% of the population depending on agriculture for their livelihood. However, the contribution of Agriculture to the country's economy is decreasing over the last few years. The primary reason behind this is the fact that crop yields in India are much lower than regions such as North America and Europe, and even similar countries such as China. The average yield of food grains in the country stood at 2.99 metric ton per hectare in the year 2016, while the global average stood at 3.97 metric ton per hectare. With the need for increasing crop yields, the demand for crop protection chemicals is expected to increase at a robust rate over the forecast period.

The government of India has adopted Integrated Pest Management Practises (IPM), with more emphasis on the use f bio-pesticides and pesticides of plant origin like Neem formulations. Major agrochemical companies are investing in R&D to bring new biological products that cater to the needs of Indian farmers.
