Russian pesticide market has broad prospects

In recent years, Russia's agricultural production has developed rapidly and has become the world's leading food producer and exporter. With the development of planting industry, the demand for pesticides is also increasing. The enormous potential for development of Russian agriculture itself and the huge gap between the current amount of pesticides per plant area and the developed countries make it one of the countries with the most market potential. According to information released by the British Business Research Consulting Company, Russia is expected to become the third largest consumer of pesticides in the world.
However, the overall scale and capacity of pesticide production in Russia are still small. According to estimates, the current size of the Russian pesticide market is around 50,000 to 60,000 tons/year, and there are about 80 pesticide distribution companies. Like other countries, Russia's pesticide production and sales use product registration system. Pesticide products must be registered in accordance with the provisions of the "Russian National Registration of Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals," and national standards must be certified. At present, there are 51 pesticide products registered in Russia, 49 fungicides, 47 herbicides, and 25 plant growth regulators. The world's leading pesticide production companies, such as Bayer CropScience, DuPont, Alessandria, Dow Agro, Swiss Syngenta, etc., have a market share of about 75%.
In addition, Russia has strict regulations on the use, transportation, import, and sale of pesticides and pesticide residues in crops. In terms of the use of pesticides, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture is required to formulate and publish every year a "national list of pesticides and agrochemicals that can be used within the Russian Federation." Only listed pesticides can be sold and used in Russia. In terms of imports, license management is implemented for the import of pesticides. At the same time, Russia’s requirements for pesticide residues are also very high, even higher than the EU standards.
In recent years, with the soaring demand in the Russian pesticide market, imports have also shown a relatively rapid growth. According to data released by the Russian Federal Customs Bureau, Russia's pesticide imports in 2008 were 60,300 tons, an increase of 39.2% year-on-year. Affected by the financial crisis, imports totaled 29,400 tons in the first half of last year, a year-on-year decrease of 18.8%.
Affected by the factors of acceptors, at present, Russia has a “grey customs clearance” phenomenon in the import of pesticides. Actual imports are difficult to control, and the quality of imported products is also uneven. The phenomenon of counterfeiting is more prominent.
The contribution of pesticide use to the output of agricultural products has been recognized by more and more farmers. According to surveys conducted by experts in the Ural-Siberian region, input of 1,500 to 2,000 roubles of pesticide per hectare can increase the yield of spring wheat by about 10%. Therefore, the use of pesticides has been accepted by more and more farmers, and the use of pesticides is expected to increase gradually. According to statistics, the current use of pesticides in Russia does not exceed 18 US dollars per hectare (the proportion of pesticides in the cost of planting industry accounts for about 9%), and there is a huge gap compared with the 60 US dollars in developed countries. Therefore, with the development of crop production, the demand for pesticides is expected to continue to rise, and the market prospects are broad.
As Russia is currently undergoing an economic transition, the pesticide market is also turbulent. Counterfeit and counterfeit products are rampant. Counterfeit and inferior pesticides have become one of the major obstacles to further market expansion. According to data released by the Russian Agricultural Statistics Research Center, although the government has stepped up efforts to crack down on counterfeit and inferior products in recent years, it is estimated that its market size is still around 85 million US dollars.
