Middle East And Africa Glyphosate Market

Middle East and Africa Glyphosate Market Size, Growth, Trends and Forecast:

Middle East and Africa Glyphosate Market was worth USD 0.81 billion in 2021 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 5.57%, to reach USD 1.89 billion by 2026. Glyphosate is the most widely and heavily used agrichemical worldwide, in agriculture, parks and amenities as well as in gardens. Glyphosate is absorbed through the foliage of plants and inhibits the plant’s ability to synthesize proteins. This causes the plant to sicken and ultimately die.

Genetically engineered crops have been produced such as soya, corn and wheat to be resistant to glyphosate so that when sprayed only the weeds die and the cultivated crop remains unaffected. Another advantage of using glyphosate is that farmers can adopt conservational tillage in which the soil is the disturbed very less and tractor usage is also reduced. This is said to reduce soil erosion by upto 90% and also reduce carbon emissions.
