Agriculture Market Research Reports

Agriculture is well known as farming or husbandry includes growing plants, fungi, food, fiber, biofuel and other products. The agricultural products are categorized into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials. The Agriculture sector includes agribusiness, farming equipment, animal and livestock feed, aquaculture, hunting and fishing, tractors and farming machinery, dairy products, organic farming and tobacco products. The agricultural plants are used to produce biofuels, biopharmaceuticals, bioplastics and pharmaceuticals.

The global agriculture is mainly influenced by different climates, cultures, suitable lands, population growth, increase in per capita income in emerging and developing economies, technology advancement, plant breeding, pesticides and fertilizers, expansion of irrigation infrastructure, distribution of hybridized seeds, shift from cereal-based diets to high proteins synthetic nitrogen, mined rock phosphate, companies are developing new seed traits, extensi...

The global agriculture is mainly influenced by different climates, cultures, suitable lands, population growth, increase in per capita income in emerging and developing economies, technology advancement, plant breeding, pesticides and fertilizers, expansion of irrigation infrastructure, distribution of hybridized seeds, shift from cereal-based diets to high proteins synthetic nitrogen, mined rock phosphate, companies are developing new seed traits, extensive research and development activities, etc.

The modern agriculture includes green revolution, research and development, large-scale monoculture, permaculture or organic agriculture, shift in highly technical fields such as DNA sequencing and synthetic biology in agriculture, contract farming, etc.

The agricultural production is lead by rice, wheat, and corn (maize) production. Agriculture is one of the world’s most employed sector. The agricultural production recorded major share of world’s gross domestic products. The global growth of supermarkets affects marketing channels for horticultural, dairy and livestock products.

The animal husbandry drives the agriculture market due to increase in pig farming, increased concerns over animal cruelty and its health effects, increased supply of grains resulted to cheaper livestock, animal feed additives and demand for meat and meat products.

The agricultural biotechnology market segmented into transgenic seeds, synthetic biology-enabled products and tools. The growth in agricultural biotechnology market is due to improving economic conditions, increased availability of funding on research and development, favorable government initiatives, transgenic seeds and innovations in genomics tools.

The market witnesses several threats such as increased use of pesticides and fertilizers damages environment, reduce down the quality of soil and negatively impacts on human health, climate change and global warming, global financial crisis, increasing water scarcity, restricted capital inflows, losing land because of urbanization and industrialization and agricultural demand grows faster. European Union is the less affected region by climate change.

The organic agriculture is the emerging concept for agricultural producers particularly for fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Organic fruits and vegetables market grew rapidly over the years due to increase in awareness of its benefits. The United States is fastest growing organic food market followed by Germany, France and United Kingdom.

US, France, Australia, Argentina and Thailand are the major exporter of grain products. The water deficit is the major reason to several countries including Algeria, Iran, Egypt, Mexico, China and India for importing larger portion of food items. U.S. is the largest agricultural biotechnology market followed by Asia-Pacific region. Asia Pacific region is the largest supplier of animal feed additives market. Russia is the biggest exporter of wheat products.

The global agricultural biotechnology player includes Bayer CropScience AG, Certis USA, Dow AgroSciences LLC, Emerald BioAgriculture Corporation, Makhteshim-Agan Industries Ltd., Monsanto Company, Mycogen Seeds, Performance Plants Inc., Pioneer Hi-Bred International, and Syngenta International AG.
