Crop Production Global Market Report 2025

The crop production market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.08 trillion in 2024 to $5.45 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to traditional farming practices, mechanization, chemical inputs, market liberalization, government subsidies, climate variability.

The crop production market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.08 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to genetic engineering, climate smart agriculture, alternative protein sources, regenerative agriculture, circular economy models. Major trends in the forecast period include digital farming platforms, biological pest control methods, autonomous farming equipment, artificial intelligence (AI) in crop monitoring, climate-resilient crop varieties.

The forecast of 6.8% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This could significantly impact the US through disruptions in high-efficiency irrigation systems and precision planting equipment imported from Israel and Germany, potentially reducing yields while increasing operational costs for staple crop farmers. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The future expansion of the crop production market is expected to be driven by the increasing global population. The term 'growing population' denotes the rise in the number of individuals within a population or dispersed group over a specific time frame. With population growth comes the opportunity for farmers to capitalize on economies of scale, producing more crops and potentially selling them at a lower cost per unit. An example of this trend can be observed in the data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2022, indicating a 0.4% increase, or 1,256,003 individuals, in the U.S. resident population to reach 333,287,557 in 2022. Consequently, the expanding population serves as a driving force behind the growth of the crop production market.

The future growth of the crop production market is also expected to be influenced by government initiatives. These initiatives encompass significant acts or statements made by governmental bodies to address specific issues or solve problems. Government initiatives related to crop production aim to enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience. As an illustration, in April 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program, investing over $3.1 billion in 141 projects. Notably, these projects emphasize the meaningful involvement of small and underserved producers. Thus, government initiatives play a crucial role in propelling the growth of the crop production market.

Major companies in the crop production market are focusing on the development of automated harvesters. These unmanned machines are designed to enhance efficiency and reduce labor costs in agriculture. A case in point is Raven Industries Inc., a U.S.-based agriculture company that introduced Raven Cart Automation in August 2023. This autonomous farming technology synchronizes the tractor's heading and speed with that of the combine, facilitating more efficient and productive grain cart harvest operations. The technology is user-friendly, controlled through a tablet-based platform, enabling easy management and optimization of grain cart harvest operations.

Crop production is the defined process of cultivating crops for both domestic and commercial purposes. It plays a crucial role in sustainable agriculture, aiming to produce food in a manner that safeguards the environment, biodiversity, and overall quality of life.

The primary categories of crop production encompass grain farming, oilseed farming, fruit and nut farming, vegetable farming, general crop farming, greenhouse and nursery activities, as well as flower cultivation. A location where plants are cultivated for transplanting, for use as stock in budding and grafting, or for commercial sale is known as a greenhouse or nursery. The farming methods employed include organic farming and traditional farming. The diverse applications of crop production span food, beverages, and fodder.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and emerging trade disputes in spring 2025 are having a profound impact on the agriculture sector by driving up the costs of essential inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery components sourced from international markets. Higher duties on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have substantially increased operational expenses for farmers. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs from key global buyers have reduced demand for major U.S. agricultural exports, including corn, wheat, and dairy, straining farm incomes. In response, many producers are exploring crop diversification, investing in precision agriculture to optimize resource use, and calling for government support through subsidies and improved trade access.

Major players in the crop production market are investing in agrirobots such as SentiV to improve productivity, sustainability, and resilience. SentiV, an AI-powered scouting robot, serves as a crop inspector, highlighting variability within field crop plots and identifying potential threats. In January 2023, Meropy, a France-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, introduced SentiV as a significant advancement in autonomous agriculture. Equipped with sensors and cameras, SentiV can analyze up to 20 hectares of croplands per day, efficiently detecting harvest threats such as pests, diseases, and weed damage. This innovation is poised to revolutionize traditional farming practices, providing farmers with a more efficient and targeted approach to crop monitoring.
