Japan Crop Protection Market Overview, 2029

Japan's Crop Protection market is expected to exceed USD 400 billion by 2029, driven by advancements in agrochemical technologies and precision agriculture.

The crop protection industry in Japan has changed greatly over time, thanks to advancements in technology, changes in regulations, and shifts in farming methods. Throughout history, Japan's farming scene has been known for using intensive farming techniques to increase production in limited farming areas. When it comes to following rules and regulations, the crop protection market in Japan is controlled by the Food Safety Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF). The nation adheres to strict regulations for approving and utilizing agricultural chemicals, guaranteeing products meet safety requirements prior to being sold. The Positive List System, implemented in 2006, requires all agricultural products to adhere to maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides, altering pesticide usage in farming. The latest progress involves the creation of precision farming tools that make use of data analysis, drones, and IoT devices to improve pesticide use and reduce environmental harm. Businesses are additionally dedicating resources to research and development for producing more efficient biopesticides sourced from natural origins, in accordance with worldwide movements towards organic farming and sustainable agriculture. The incorporation of biotechnology in crop protection has resulted in the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that can resist pests and diseases, leading to increased yields and decreased use of pesticides.

According to the research report, "Japan Crop Protection Market Outlook, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Japan Crop Protection market is anticipated to add to more than USD 400 Billion by 2024–29.Major companies in Japan's agricultural industry include well-known names such as Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, and Dow AgroSciences, providing a variety of products suited to the country's farming methods. These companies have built robust research and development abilities, allowing them to create new ideas and adjust to the unique requirements of Japanese farmers. Local companies such as Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd. and Arysta LifeScience Japan are also important players, concentrating on creating products that meet the needs of native crops and environmental factors. Partnerships among various industry players such as government agencies, research institutions, and agricultural cooperatives are crucial for fostering innovation and guaranteeing the successful adoption of crop protection measures. The Japanese government frequently partners with agricultural universities and research institutes to advance research initiatives focused on sustainable farming practices and the creation of new crop protection technologies. These collaborations help transfer knowledge and share the best farming practices among farmers. When it comes to importing and exporting, Japan plays a major role as a buyer of agricultural chemicals due to its lack of ability to produce certain key ingredients domestically. The nation brings in a significant amount of its agricultural chemicals from nations such as the US, China, and various European countries. Depending on imports highlights the need to follow Japan's strict regulations, as foreign companies must show their products meet local safety and effectiveness standards.
Herbicides are dominating the crop protection market in central Japan because of the region's intensive farming methods and the growing demand for efficient weed control. Central Japan is renowned for its variety of agricultural products, such as rice, vegetables, and fruits. Yet, the aggressive proliferation of weeds presents a major obstacle for farmers because these undesirable plants can greatly diminish crop production by vying for necessary resources like water, nutrients, and sunlight. With Japan's stringent agricultural standards and the need to sustain productivity, farmers must rely on herbicides to achieve maximum yields. The use of herbicides in central Japan has been made easier by improvements in agricultural technology, such as the creation of crop varieties that can resist herbicides. These advancements empower farmers to use specific herbicides that target particular weed species with minimal impact on their crops. In addition, herbicides provide a more effective and economical option than manual weeding, decreasing labor expenses and supporting soil health and structure. Major global agribusiness companies like Bayer Crop Science, BASF, Syngenta, and DuPont are top suppliers in Japan's herbicide market. These companies are dedicated to continuous research and development, offering farmers inventive herbicide solutions to tackle the unique weed issues encountered in Japanese agriculture.

Oilseeds and pulses dominate Japan's crop protection market because of the country's rising need for premium food sources and the growing emphasis on sustainable farming methods. Japan is among the biggest purchasers of oilseeds, specifically soybeans, which are essential for the production of cooking oil, animal feed, and different food items. The growing knowledge about health and nutrition has led to a notable rise in the intake of plant-based proteins, resulting in pulses like soybeans, azuki beans, and green peas becoming more favored by consumers. Japanese farmers understand the significance of oilseeds and pulses in improving soil health and fostering biodiversity by utilizing crop rotation. These plants help with nitrogen fixation, enhancing soil fertility and decreasing the need for chemical fertilizers. Nevertheless, growing oilseeds and pulses faces difficulties due to their vulnerability to pests, diseases, and competition from weeds. In order to reduce these dangers, it is crucial to use efficient methods of crop protection such as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides to guarantee high yields and quality. Major players in the crop protection sector in Japan consist of large agribusiness companies like Bayer Crop Science, BASF, Syngenta, and DuPont, providing unique solutions designed for the particular requirements of oilseed and pulse growing. These companies prioritize research and development investments to develop eco-friendly and efficient crop protection products.

COVID-19 Impact

The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected public health as well as the global economy. The COVID-19 impact on the global economy has resulted in socio-economic disruptions; along with other industries, the spread of COVID-19 has affected the agriculture input sector. The coronavirus has impacted critical processes in the production and distribution of agrochemicals, from raw material imports to end-product manufacturing. The supply chain was hindered due to the travel restrictions imposed by many different countries globally. The fluctuating prices of chemicals as raw materials along with the inconsistent demand from the consumers during times of economic distress hampered the market growth rate.
