Rise in Crop Production

In agriculture sector, the pesticides  plays a vital role in controlling the growth of weeds, pests, and diseases. According to Agri-Farming, the total arable land in UAE is around 1600 square kilometers out of total land area of around 71,023 square kilometers. Majorly the land is utilized for production of dates across UAE. The main reason behind this is the appropriate climatic conditions for supporting dates production in large quantities. Additionally, pesticides assist farmers in producing nutrient-dense crops that are essential for human health. The vital nutrients that come from fruits and vegetables are more widely available and less expensive owing to high crop production. Therefore, rising crop production is necessary to support the growing food demand which in turn is driving the growth of pesticides market. For instance, in 2020, Abu Dhabi achieved remarkable growth in agricultural production, including animals and plants, with a total value of USD 3.73 billion (Dh13.7 billion). This indicates an increase of 12% compared to 2019, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% for 2017-2020, according to the report issued by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA). Growing crop production is estimated to boost the demand for pesticides in UAE which in turn will drive the growth of the pesticides market.

Technological Advancement

New technology like nanotechnology, organic farming, etc are being used by toxicologists and horticulturists to create new, eco-friendly pesticides that are considerably safer and more efficient. With the evolving technology, it is appropriate to say that the effective research and development of the technologically advanced instruments and methods to satisfy consumer demands would support the market growth and benefit the market players as well as the consumers. New market players may focus on the research and development to provide such products and services that satisfy the consumer demand as well as benefit the market players in building their brand value. Furthermore, consolidation of major players, safety regulations leading to new product developments, and increasing support from government agencies to promote modern farming methods are anticipated to fuel the growth of the UAE pesticides market.

Awareness of Locally Grown Food

According to the National Food Security Strategy 2018, the UAE's agriculture sector has gradually increased its contribution to the local market in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased and improved local food production, increased awareness of climate change and sustainability, and the number of health-conscious consumers shopping for fresh vegetables. Moreover, fruits and vegetables grown globally are stored for days and have lengthy transport time before reaching UAE supermarket shelves. This means reduced freshness and a higher carbon footprint. This key factor is fueling the demand for locally grown food in the UAE. Moreover, locally grown food is fresh, economic, and not preserved in deep freezers as they are readily available in the market at low price. To assist agri-tech initiatives in the desert nation, the United Arab Emirates has ordered government organizations including the military and medical authorities to purchase locally grown food to minimize the import of agricultural good from other countries. Hence, the demand for locally grown food is driving the growth of pesticide use in the agriculture sector in the UAE.
