Agrochemical industry to witness 6-7% revenue growth in 2025-26: Report

The agrochemical industry's revenue is expected to grow 6-7 per cent this financial year driven by a revival in global demand and the normalisation of inventories, just as domestic offtake slows following an extended monsoon, a report said on Monday. The report by Crisil Ratings stated that improved farm sentiment globally will drive up export revenue by 8-9 per cent this fiscal but domestic demand will see the perils of excess rainfall causing crop damage, product returns and delayed field readiness.

Agrochemical federation CCFI opposes patent evergreening for agrochemicals

The Crop Care Federation of India (CCFI) on Thursday urged the government to reject patent evergreening for agrochemicals, arguing that such a move would harm farmers and local manufacturers by creating monopolistic market conditions. The industry body criticised a newly formed government committee examining data protection provisions for agrochemicals, claiming it would unfairly benefit multinational corporations and importers at the expense of domestic producers. CCFI Chairman Deepak Shah, in a statement, said extending patent protections beyond the standard 20-year period would lead to overpricing and reduced accessibility for small and marginal farmers. "The government should protect the interest of domestic manufacturers and farmers," Shah stated.
