AGRICULTURAL BIOLOGICALS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Agricultural biologicals encompass a diverse array of products (derived from naturally occurring microorganisms, plant extracts, beneficial insects or other organic matter) used for enhancing soil fertility, biological activity, and the growth of plants. These products are environmentally friendly, leave no harmful residues in the ecosystem and mitigate risks to the health of farmers and consumers. Agricultural biologicals are frequently used with the primary objective of reducing the reliance on conventional chemical fertilizers and agrochemicals. For instance, companies like Novozymes, in collaboration with Bayer and other prominent companies in this domain, propose that their microbial products can serve as an effective alternative or supplement for agrochemicals and fertilizers. This revolution is expected to benefit stakeholders at various levels. In the future, consumers are likely to gain assurance that their food is cultivated in a safe and sustainable manner. Additionally, farmers are anticipated to have access to new tools for regenerative agriculture and can explore additional revenue streams through sustainable services, such as carbon sequestration to combat climate change. Further, driven by the rising demand for organically grown crops, growing focus on sustainable agricultural practices and preservation of natural resources, the agricultural biologicals market is anticipated to witness steady growth in the coming decade.
