Interpretation of the current international pesticide market pattern

1.
The huge potential of international agricultural development provides broad space for China's pesticides to go global 1.
The current status of global agricultural productivity According to FAO statistics (2014), the global planting areas of five major crops including wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, and cotton are respectively 220 million hectares, 160 million hectares, 180 million hectares, 110 million hectares and 33 million hectares
.
Among them, the top 10 countries in terms of planting area account for 70% of the world's wheat, 83% of rice, 68% of corn, 95% of soybean, and 81% of cotton (Table 1)
.
From these ratios, it can be seen that the cultivation of major food crops is concentrated in a few large agricultural countries
.
The above rankings together constitute the 28 major agricultural countries in the world
.
According to the regional division, 13 Asian countries: China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan; 3 European countries: Russia, Ukraine, Turkey; 7 American countries: the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia; 4 African countries: Nigeria, Tanzania, Burkina Faso and Mali; and Australia
.
Large agricultural countries are mainly distributed in Asia and America
.
In terms of individual crops, there are 11 countries with a planting area of ​​more than 10 million hectares, including China, India, Russia, the United States, Australia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Brazil and Argentina.
They are also mainly distributed in Asia and Americas
.
2.
Global agricultural production potential According to the statistics of the Global Agricultural Ecological Zone (GAZE) database jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (HASA), there are currently 1.
6 billion hectares of cultivated land in the world, but the potential cultivated land area is developed It amounts to 3.
2 billion hectares, 1.
8 billion hectares after deducting various protected areas
.
Among them, the regions with the largest potential arable land are South America and Africa
.
Brazil has 375 million hectares of potential arable land, which is the largest country; Russia and Congo (DRC) also have more than 100 million hectares
.
A research report pointed out that combined with a comprehensive analysis of external factors such as technical conditions, development difficulty, planting distribution, and political risks, the global farming potential is mainly concentrated: Brazil, the United States, Russia, Australia, Argentina, Paraguay, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries (Table 2)
.
Comprehensive analysis of the above data shows that China, the United States, and India are the three most important agricultural countries in the world, and the planting area of ​​many major crops ranks in the top
.
Brazil has the potential for further development in many crops
.
China, the United States, India and Pakistan together constitute an important force that cannot be ignored in the international agricultural field, and should be the object of continuous focus of agricultural enterprises
