The use of biologicals continues to expand globally, moving from a mainstay of the specialty crop market to a slow creep into row cropping. Most often, those in the value chain closest to the consumer are early adoptees of biologicals, as seen in the vine market in France. Yet even the most conventional of farmers are demonstrating their openness to change and ability to adopt new ways of thinking and doing. In fact, in 2023, 51.5% of all French farmers used biopesticides.

Stepping back and looking at brand and product level, the increase in mergers and acquisitions in the biologicals field is notable, with major players also funding venture capital brands to utilize AI technology to create biological products.

The race is on to be the first in the market with a selective bioherbicide, at which point the billion-hectare row crop opportunity will truly open up the biologicals market. The biopesticide row crop spending in Brazil was 10 times that of the USA in 2022, a number set to skyrocket as products come to market and solve the greatest challenges for arable farmers
