Crop Protection Chemicals (Pesticides) Market – Thailand Industry Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2017 - 2022)

• Since December 2010, the Thai government has been intensifying the inspection standards of vegetable produce and the main focus has been to adhere the internationally accepted Global Maximum Residue Level (MRLs) for pesticides content.
• In August 2010, the government imposed restrictions on a number of pesticide products, which can be produced by a manufacturer under one brand in Thailand.
• The rapid increase of pesticide use in Thailand may be accounted for an increase in cash crops. Most pesticide-intensive crops, vegetables and fruits, in Thailand, are the highest cash value added crops. As farmers have gradually switched from low value-added to high value-added crop production, the overall consumption rate of pesticides has naturally increased.

Market Dynamics
Favorable tax policy of Thai government, toward the growing market of agrochemical import, promotion of sustainable and integrated pest management techniques, and increased intensity of land use, are the major drivers for the market.

However, lack of infrastructure for R&D activities, maturing Thai market for rice, and anti-pesticides measures, along with the growing demand for food safety and quality, are the probable constraining factors.
