2022: Growth of 40% over 5 years - up to 216 thousand tons

In 2022, pesticide sales in Russia reached 216 thousand tons, which is 12.6% and 40% more than 2021 and 2018. Such data are given in the BusinesStat study published in May 2023.

According to experts of the analytical agency, crisis economic processes in 2022 did not lead to a decrease in sales of chemical plant protection products (CPPD) in the domestic market. Pesticide producers, together with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, took the necessary measures to timely provide farmers with the necessary products.

The Russian pesticide market has grown by 40% over 5 years

Analysts note that Russian manufacturers of chemical plant protection products have increased the production of drugs even in the face of worsening foreign policy tensions and sanctions. In turn, the Ministry of Agriculture organized constant monitoring of problematic issues with the physical and affordability of pesticides, which came from regions, industry unions and farmers. Incoming requests were promptly worked out. The need of agricultural producers for the necessary drugs was covered.

At the same time, the Russian market for chemical plant protection products is influenced by many factors. State regulation complicates the procedures for registering new active substances and finished formulations at the legislative level. Increasing the manufacturability of plant protection products aimed at increasing yields per hectare contributes to the demand for pesticides.

An important role in the formation of the market for chemical plant protection products in Russia was made by the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and the Regulation of Markets for Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Food in 2013-2021. As part of the project, part of the cost of purchasing elite seeds, mineral fertilizers and pesticides by agricultural producers was reimbursed.^[1]
