Key Market Trends
Oil-seeds Dominate the Market by Application
Soybeans, Cotton, and peanuts are the major oilseeds grown in the brazil. Brazil is the largest exporter of soy in the globe. According to the Brazilian government statistics, soybeans have accounted for about 95% of all oilseeds produced in the country followed by cotton and peanuts in 2018.

Bio-pesticides are Increasingly Gaining Popularity
The biopesticides segment of the market is projected to register a higher CAGR than synthetic pesticides during the forecast period. Across the globe, there is a growing demand for food safety and quality, organically produced products. This leads the farmers to use bio-pesticides for controlling the pests. Additionally, the low R&D investment for biopesticides would result in a low cost of production which in turn gives a high return on investment to the farmers. According to a recent news article in 2019, traces of 27 pesticides including 11 banned pesticides in the country has been found across various water sources in 1400 towns. As a result of this and various other incidents, the government has recently cleared 40 products in the country that has high toxic chemicals as their ingredients. This might boost the use of bio-pesticides across the country during the forecast period. However, the share of bio-pesticides is expected to remain lower than synthetic pesticides in the near future as well.
