Global analysis & 2028 forecast report of oilseed crop protection chemicals market (EmailWire)

October 18, 2021


EmailWire published an article on how the focus of research on crop protection chemicals for oilseeds has been on developing compounds safer than older counterparts to meet the demand for new molecular solutions for control of pests that have developed resistance to the older compounds. The global crop protection chemicals market is primarily driven by the rising need to ensure the food safety of the growing population across the globe. According to IFPRI, almost 690 million people went hungry around the world in 2019, an increase of 10 million over 2018, and the COVID-19 pandemic could push an additional 83 million-132 million into chronic hunger in 2020.
