Agricultural Fumigants Market Trends



  • Post-harvest food losses drive market growth.


Post-harvest food losses are driving the market CAGR for agricultural fumigants. Reduced post-harvest food losses are an important component of guaranteeing food security. Agricultural items that are freshly harvested undergo alterations during handling, resulting in post-harvest losses. Post-harvest losses can be avoided by fumigating for post management. For example, ammonia gas fumigation inhibits orange fruit rot after harvest. Postharvest green mould and blue mould produced by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum are effectively controlled by fumigating lemons and oranges with ammonia gas. As a result, fumigation aids in the prevention of post-harvest losses and the preservation of agricultural product quality.


In addition, a rapidly growing global population has increased food consumption enormously, necessitating the introduction of new farming practices. This has had a considerable impact on agricultural fumigant demand, which protects agricultural crops from pests. Furthermore, the need for fumigants has expanded in step with the expansion of agricultural production throughout the years. Fumigation is presently the most prevalent method of insect management on farms, and it is used at all levels of the supply chain for grains and oilseeds. Fumigation is one of the most popular strategies for reducing bug infestations in farm storage and silos while avoiding pest resistance development. Legislative limits limit the active compounds available for storage to a limited number of fumigants and insecticides. Fumigation with methyl bromide (MB) is an effective strategy for reducing the phytosanitary risk posed by items.


Agricultural Fumigants Type Insights


 

The Agricultural Fumigants Market is divided into type, which include phosphine, methyl bromide, chloropicrin, metam sodium, 1,3 dichloropropene, and others. Phosphine dominates the global market for agricultural fumigants. Both developed and underdeveloped countries use phosphine extensively. It is used to save farm crops, stored processed food, raw agricultural commodities, and warehouse products. It protects against microscopic insects and pests. Furthermore, it is commonly sold in the form of solid, aluminum, and magnesium. Because this is harmful to humans and can harm their health, it must be used under the supervision of an applicator. Some aspects focus customers' attention to fumigants technology, such as quickly expanding insects on farms, seasonal conditions, and so on.

Agricultural Fumigants Form Insights


The Agricultural Fumigants Market segmentation, based on form, includes solid, liquid, gas.  The liquid category has attained the highest market share, followed by the gaseous form owing to its safe application and bulk usage for all agricultural commodities. The disbursement volume of solvent is at the discretion of the applicator. The solid form uses powder, pellets, and tablets to control insects and other pests. It is also considered comparatively safer for the environment in most regions across the globe.


Agricultural Fumigants Application Insights


The Agricultural Fumigants Market segmentation, based on application, includes soil, warehouse. The warehouse category is likely to be the fastest expanding segment in the market throughout the forecast period. Pest management methods are used to kill, repel, or inhibit insects, nematodes, and other pests that cause damage to infrastructure and stored food in warehouses. Because of the significant insect infestation in warehouses, the agricultural fumigants business has begun to gain traction.
