Biostimulants are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to improve crop yields and reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, writes Editor Renee Targos in a recent article in AgriBusiness Global DIRECT. The global biostimulant market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by factors such as increasing demand for organic food, sustainable agriculture practices, and the need to improve soil health.

In Latin America, countries like Brazil and Argentina are experiencing a surge in biostimulant usage. This is attributed to the region’s large agricultural sector and the growing awareness of the benefits of biostimulants in improving crop productivity. The article mentions that Brazil has implemented regulations to promote the use of biostimulants and has seen a rise in the number of registered products.

In the Asia-Pacific region, countries like China and India are witnessing a rapid increase in biostimulant adoption. The article explains that China’s focus on sustainable agriculture and environmental protection has led to the promotion of biostimulants as an alternative to chemical inputs. India, on the other hand, is driven by the need to enhance crop yields and reduce the environmental impact of conventional farming practices.

Africa shows promise as an emerging market for biostimulants due to the continent’s vast agricultural potential and the growing population’s increasing demand for food. Biostimulants are seen as a solution to improve crop productivity and address the challenges of climate change and soil degradation in the region.

The article further discusses the challenges and opportunities in these emerging markets. It mentions the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure the quality and efficacy of biostimulant products. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of educating farmers about the benefits and proper use of biostimulants.
