Reasons for the decrease in pesticide consumption
According to industry experts, there are two main reasons for
the decrease in pesticide consumption.
In 2021-2022, the incidence of pests and diseases in staple crops such as rice, soybeans, wheat and cotton was low, leading to a decline
in consumption.
In addition, due to the current low commodity prices, farmers are trying to control the cost
of planting by reducing the number of pesticide sprays.
They are trying to find ways to spray pesticides all at once, without having to spray
them multiple times.
At the same time, the government is also promoting natural agriculture and limiting the use of agrochemicals
.
However, it will take several years to transition
from reduced pesticide consumption to natural agriculture.
