farmers before purchasing crop protection products, trends and developments and
issues and challenges in the crop protection market. The report concludes with
market projections for future for the market described above highlighting the
major opportunities and cautions for South Africa crop protection market.
South Africa Crop Protection Market Overview and Size
South
Africa is one of the most developed countries in the African region.
Agriculture is the backbone of the South African economy. Presently, South
Africa is not only self-sufficient in virtually all major agricultural products
but is also a net food exporter, which makes it 1 out of 6 countries in the
world capable of exporting food on a regular basis. The crop protection market
in South Africa is at a growing stage. Newer crop protection products are coming
into South Africa in a bid to increase the yield of crops. South African crop
protection market is dominated by imports. With no technical being manufactured
in South Africa, the country has been majorly dependent on several countries
for the procurement of technical which are used in crop protection. Majority of
the global players have concentrated the crop protection market in South
Africa. The market has attained steady growth over the period of five years
from 2012 to 2017. The major reason for growth of the crop protection market
was an increase in investment in research and development and new chemicals
coming in to bring more effectiveness to the products.
South Africa Crop Market Segmentation
By Type of Pesticides
The contribution
of herbicides to the overall revenue of crop protection market has been
increasing in the past few years. This was due to weeds becoming resistant to
herbicides which were traditionally used. An increase in the number of
resistant weeds made crop protection companies to focus on bringing out newer
herbicides. Insecticides are stated to increase in the future due to the
growing number of insects and pests. Climate change will also result in pests
becoming adaptive; as a result newer insecticides will be required to control
the insects and pests. Fungicides are still not used in an extensive manner.
This is mainly due to the limited remedial measures that fungicides offer.
Fungicides can only act against fungal infections and cannot control growth of
pests or insects. The amounts of fungal infections are limited on crops. The
biopesticides market is still at a nascent stage with a huge potential to grow
in the future. Farmers and the farming community are still unfamiliar with
biopesticides and their effectiveness. Since biopesticides leave little or no
residue behind, with stricter Maximum Residue Level guidelines coming in,
biopesticides is anticipated to grow in the future.
By Nature of Pesticides
Presently, the generic pesticides dominate the crop
protection market. In the future, a lot of active ingredients are going to
become off patent products. This is going to increase the number of generic
pesticides in the market. The increase in number of patented products is due to
increase in investment in research and development in biopesticides and
investment into manufacturing conventional pesticides with lower residues.
By Type of Crops
Cereal
crops especially Maize has contributed highest in the overall crop protection
market revenues in 2017. Maximum demand for crop protection products are from
cereal crops. The major pesticides
used in cereal crops are Glyphosate, 2.4D and Metolachor. In case of Fruit
crops, both herbicides and insecticides are used for crop protection. Major
crops such as apples, apricots and grapes account for nearly half of the
production of fruits. The pesticides are effective in combating against pests
and increase the yield of the fruits. The share of application of crop
protection products on fruit crops is expected to increase in the future. Vegetable
crops are grown across all the regions in South Africa in different quantities.
The most used pesticide in the vegetable crop industry is Chlorpropham. It is
an herbicide and it accounts for the majority of the crop protection product
used in vegetable crops.
Competitive Landscape in South Africa Crop Protection Market
The South African crop protection market is an import
oriented market with 100% of the technicals used in crop protection formulas
are imported from overseas countries. It is a well regulated market with the
presence of top global crop protection companies in the market. . The global
players with their recent mergers or acquisitions have consolidated their
position in the global level with a view to increase their market share
further. The crop protection market is expected to get extremely competitive in
the future, and the growth is going to be steady. The mergers have ensured a
lot of entry barriers in the industry. Hence it will be tougher for the newer
companies to enter into the market.
South Africa Crop Protection Market Future Outlook and
Projections
It is
anticipated that the crop protection market in South Africa will continue to
grow in the coming years. This is majorly due to growing population, increasing
focus on food security, increased investment in research and development,
increase in crop protection products and increase in farming income. One major
factor that will be limiting the growth of the crop protection market is
stringent government regulations and phasing out many of the existing active
ingredient.
