The industry
The crop protection and seeds industries offer products that provide essential support to modern agriculture. Both industries have been fundamental to the agricultural productivity improvements that have enabled food production to increase alongside population and economic growth. These improvements have come almost entirely from increasing crop yields. The area of land under cultivation has expanded very little in recent years.

Increasing Demand for Food
Crop protection products and seeds are key agricultural inputs. Demand for them is driven by:
  • Population growth: projected growth of approximately 1% a year over the next 20 years will take the world population from its current level of 6 billion to 7.5 billion by 2020.
  • Economic growth: as people become wealthier they consume more and higher-quality food; the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) forecasts a 40% increase in demand for grain by 2020.
  • Land availability: arable land is scarce in many parts of the world and under pressure from urbanization and industrial uses; accordingly, there is continual pressure to increase the productivity of available resources.
  • Sustainability: without increases in productivity, more land will have to be brought under cultivation, with potentially severe adverse impact on the environment.
  • Technology: innovations that provide new benefits can spur significant market growth. These may relate to conventional crop protection chemicals and seeds, but increasingly derive from biotechnology, which can both create new opportunities in crop protection, and confer valuable new traits upon seeds.
