Also available in:
No results found.Pesticides are a key agricultural input needed to protect seeds and safeguard crops from unwanted plants, insects, bacteria, fungi and rodents. Geographically and temporally comparable statistics on pesticides use and trade are important for policymakers and researchers to address potential environmental and human health risks and to reduce vulnerability to crop losses from disease and infestation. The methodological work in this paper ensures consistent dissemination of pesticides use data in active ingredients by reconciling time series reported in formulated products. -
BookletPesticides use and trade, 1990–2021 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Pesticides are a key agricultural input needed to protect seeds and safeguard crops from unwanted plants, insects, bacteria, fungi and rodents. At the same time, pesticides can have negative health and environmental impacts through contamination of soil, water and non-target plants and animals, which can decrease biodiversity and harm living organisms including humans. Statistics of pesticides use and trade are relevant for monitoring the sustainability of agriculture. In particular, they can help assess the global movement of pesticides and identify possible shortcomings in access to markets. The FAOSTAT Pesticides Use database contains data on pesticides use by country, in active ingredients and by major pesticide category, currently for the period 1990-2021.
