South America Agricultural Adjuvants Market Insights
South America Agricultural Adjuvants Market was estimated to be USD 12,101.6 million in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.58% during the forecast period of, 2021 – 2028. The primary factor driving the agricultural adjuvants market size is the rising demand for agriculture adjuvants in major crops, as well as the rising investment in South American agriculture sector. For instance, in the year 2019, Colombia farm investment project and one expansion project have been launched, with a projected employment generation of more than 2,500 jobs. Various multinational companies participated in the project such as Faber Castell.
The materials which are added to agrochemicals to enhance the efficiency of active ingredients are known as adjuvants. Adjuvants are used to improve overall performance of the product. Fungicides when used with adjuvants, it may improve disease control by improving the fungicide’s penetration or by enhancing fungicides spread.
In the U.S., agricultural tank adjuvants are necessarily deregulated except in some isolated cases. There is a need of registration in states of Washington and California for selling adjuvants. Additionally, the federal order is not there for tank mix adjuvants. The majority of Peru agricultural commodities get exported to the U.S.; Peru is bound to follow these regulations to meet the export standards of the U.S. The WSDA (Washington State Department of Agriculture) explains the criteria for adjuvant approval. The adjuvant must fulfill all requirements for registration of a food/feed use spray adjuvant in Washington and the adjuvant formulation must contain less than 10% alkyl phenol ethoxylates (including alkyl phenol ethoxylate phosphate esters). Such criteria will hamper the exports of agricultural adjuvants from South America to U.S. which in turn restraints the growth of South America agricultural adjuvants market.
Colombian government-initiated program to promote organic agriculture and sustainable practices. The private organization partnered with the government initiative “Organic Agriculture Production Chain” to develop sustainable agriculture practice in Colombia. For instance, the “Federacíon Orgánicos de Colombia” is a cooperative firm of commodity producers, exporters, certification specialists and logistics providers whose target is to support growth with agricultural production and organic farming. The partnership between private industries and government is formerly removing illicit crops and replacing them with profitable organic yields. For instance, now, Colombian farmers have planted the Amazonian Cayenne pepper for sale in place of illegal crops. Farmers in Colombia met 60 percent of the organization’s replacement goal by the summer of 2018. This replacement goal is utilizing various organic techniques and high-tech technologies to increases the organic production of crops where green adjuvants are considered to play important role.
COVID-19 Impact on South America Agricultural Adjuvants Market
Advent of coronavirus pandemic resulted in stoppage of work sites and production plants. Existing digital technologies provided advantage to some extent but were not adequate for the level of remote working.
The pandemic related shutdown and the March 2020 oil price collapse significantly impacted the supply chain. In 2020, as government closed businesses and imposed restrictions on travel, the demand for oil fell rapidly. Due to improper supply at few locations, there is a slight disruption in the supply of raw materials such as vegetable oil and petrochemicals which are used for the production of agricultural adjuvants. The agricultural inputs such as adjuvants are considered as necessity similar to food products. Also, the manufacturers have facilities in different regions which will lead to continuous production of adjuvants. Considering all above-mentioned factors, the Covid impact on agricultural market is minimal.
Post-Covid, manufacturers are focusing on organically produced foods. This impact is due to the increase in awareness related to health. The increasing concern toward hygienic, healthy, and nutritious food in the markets, with people concerned about health amid the virus outbreak is driving green and organic adjuvants demand.
