On the basis of crop type, the agricultural chelates market is led by the cereals & grains segment followed by the fruits & vegetables segment. The oilseeds & pulses segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2015 to 2020. The importance of oilseeds & pulses is increasing as they are cash crops which generate considerable revenue for the manufacturers. Cereals & grains, such as rice, wheat, and corn, are grown abundantly in many regions and the rise in the global population has led to the increase in its demand. Several cereal growers have adopted the liquid fertilizer technology in order to achieve higher crop yield. For instance, Australia uses the fluid planting technology to achieve higher crop yield. Through this technology, agricultural chelates are mixed with metal nutrients, such as iron, zinc, and copper, to achieve increased crop productivity.
