Sales Volumes Rise Despite Global Value Decline

摘要

AT THE AGRIBUSINESS Global Trade Summit in Las Vegas last year, Kleffmann reported on a$60.5-billion crop protection market for harvest year 2014. This represented an increase of some 6% compared to the $57.2 billion value in harvest year 2013. While modest — as compared to the near double-digit growth registered in 2013 compared to 2012— 6% represented a very enviablegrowth by many industry standards. As commented at the time, looking forward five years we will see this period as a boom time for crop protection companies.
