Mexico’s crop protection market in Mexico plays a crucial role in its agricultural industry, which is a significant driver of the nation’s economy. In the mid-20th century, the market underwent significant changes due to the introduction of synthetic pesticides, leading to increased crop production and Mexico’s emergence as a key exporter of fruits and vegetables. SADER is responsible for regulating crop protection products, while COFEPRIS ensures health and safety standards are met for pesticides before approval. The market is governed by two important legislative frameworks: the General Health Law and the Federal Law on Plant Protection. Adherence to these rules is crucial for both local usage and for adhering to global export norms, especially when doing business with the U.S. and the European Union, which enforce stringent import rules. The push for more sustainable and eco-friendly practices has fueled innovation in Mexico’s crop protection sector. Biopesticides, which come from natural origins, are growing in popularity as a component of integrated pest management (IPM) approaches. These solutions decrease reliance on artificial chemicals and limit harm to the environment, conforming to worldwide sustainable agriculture trends. Moreover, in Mexico, there is a growing adoption of precision agriculture tools like drones and sensors for more accurate pesticide application, aiming to maximize resource efficiency and minimize chemical usage. Big agrochemical companies such as Bayer, Syngenta, and BASF work in Mexico together with local businesses like Agroquímica Tridente, providing various crop protection products. Government efforts also promote the embracing of organic farming methods, which additionally impact the market's transition towards more environmentally friendly options.
According to the research report "Mexico Crop Protection Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Mexico Crop Protection market is anticipated to grow at more than 2.74% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. In Mexico, the crop protection market is comprised of both international corporations and domestic businesses, all contributing significantly to protecting the country’s agriculture. Leading global corporations such as Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, and Corteva Agriscience control the industry by providing a diverse selection of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and seed treatments. These companies play a crucial role in bringing new, sustainable products and practices to the forefront, particularly in the fields of agriculture and biopesticides. They work closely with Mexican government agencies like SADER and COFEPRIS to make sure their products meet national regulations. Agroquímica Tridente and Pochteca, among other local companies, contribute by providing products designed for the specific requirements of Mexican farmers, with a focus on affordable solutions and traditional pesticides. Partnerships involving private companies, universities, and research groups are key to progress in crop protection technology in Mexico. In collaboration with domestic and international companies, universities such as the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) work together to create innovative pest control solutions, focusing on biopesticides and integrated pest management (IPM) systems. These initiatives focus on lessening the environmental effects of farming and are in line with worldwide sustainability patterns. Mexico participates in both importing and exporting within the crop protection sector. Raw materials and active ingredients are brought in mainly from the United States, China, and Europe for the production of agrochemicals within the country. Simultaneously, it sells completed agricultural protection products to other Latin American nations and the U.S., taking advantage of its robust manufacturing capabilities. Suppliers like Grupo PM and AgroBest are crucial in delivering these products to farmers throughout Mexico, guaranteeing availability of traditional and new crop protection solutions. The growing need for sustainable farming methods is causing suppliers to prioritize eco-friendly products and precision agriculture tools, leading to additional market transformations.
What's Inside a Bonafide Research`s industry report?
A Bonafide Research industry report provides in-depth market analysis, trends, competitive insights, and strategic recommendations to help businesses make informed decisions.
Herbicides dominate the crop protection market in Mexico, of the area's emphasis on large-scale cultivation of essential crops such as corn, sorghum, and beans. Weeds can greatly decrease crop yields by competing with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Herbicides offer a cost-effective and efficient way to manage invasive weeds, aiding farmers in safeguarding their crops and sustaining productivity. The rapid weed growth in central Mexico, due to the warm climate and long growing seasons, highlights the necessity of using chemical weed control for maximizing crop production. Herbicides now come in specialized formulations that effectively target specific weed species while being safe for crops. The efficiency of herbicides in saving labor is a key factor in their extensive use, especially on mechanized farms in central Mexico where chemical options are preferred over manual or mechanical weed management. Major suppliers in Mexico's herbicide industry such as Bayer Crop Science, Syngenta, BASF, and Corteva Agriscience offer a variety of herbicide products designed to meet the unique requirements of Mexican farmers. These companies have a reputation for their focus on research and development, bringing new and eco-friendly herbicides to the market. Companies like Grupo Agricola Mexicano, Syngenta Mexico, and Agroquimicos Versa are essential in maintaining the availability of herbicides throughout the country. They offer a wide range of services, such as agronomy guidance, suggestions for products, and on-site assistance, aiding farmers in implementing successful weed control tactics.
Oilseeds and pulses dominate Mexico's crop protection market as the country focuses more on growing crops like soybeans, sunflower, and beans, especially in central and northern areas. These crops play a crucial role in Mexico's farming economy, meeting the needs of both local consumption and international trade. Soybeans are commonly used in food production and as animal feed, while beans are a fundamental part of Mexican diets. Crop protection products are essential in protecting yields and quality of crops such as pulses and oilseeds which are vulnerable to pests, diseases, and weeds. Herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides are crucial in combating weed pressure, insect infestations, and fungal diseases. An example is when soybeans and sunflowers encounter difficulties from pests like aphids and diseases like rust, and beans are susceptible to fungal infections like anthracnose. The need for specific crop protection methods that can protect crops from pests and weeds while keeping them healthy is increasing due to these weaknesses. The rising significance of oilseeds and pulses in Mexico is also connected to the transition to sustainable farming practices. Crop protection products for these plants have advanced to incorporate environmentally friendly formulas and integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, in accordance with worldwide sustainability objectives and Mexican regulatory criteria. The top suppliers in Mexico's crop protection sector for oilseeds and pulses are Bayer Crop Science, BASF, Syngenta, and Corteva Agriscience.
