Ongoing Developments in Crop Protection Practices Drive Middle East & Africa Miticides Market

A miticide is a chemical insecticide that mainly targets mites (e.g., spider mites) that harbor fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, turf and landscape, ornamental flowers, and forage and plantation crops. Miticides are packed in the form of spray concentrates and have powerful active ingredients, resulting in a quick knockdown and fast kill. However, the development of miticide resistance in mites is a major issue in the agriculture field. Repeated pesticide uses result in microevolution due to the selection pressure, ultimately leading to resistance development. Thus, manufacturers have shifted their focus on offering miticides made of chemicals such as omite and palictran, which give better results without harming the predatory fauna of mite pests.

Moreover, they offer effective products that can kill mites in all stages of their lifecycle. BASF SE and Sym-Agro, among others, offer organic miticides that also act as fungicides. These miticides help to control adelgids, aphids, fungus gnats, lace bugs, leafminers, leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, scale, thrips, whiteflies, webworms, and powdery mildew on ornamentals. Such innovative multipurpose products are becoming popular among farmers as they lower the cost of production. Many countries are encouraging the development of pesticides for agricultural use. For instance. Thus, the development of novel products, coupled with favorable government initiatives, is offering future growth opportunities for the Middle East & Africa miticides market players.

Middle East & Africa Miticides Market Overview

The Middle East & Africa faces land and water scarcity issues. Many farmers in developing countries consider pesticide use as the best means to protect their crops against pests, such as desert locusts in parts of the Middle East & Africa, which are often the main threat they face.

According to the US Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA FAS), the production of fresh lemons and limes in South Africa is projected to grow by 2% during 2022-2023, bringing it to 660,000 metric tons (MT). Additionally, orange production in Egypt is forecasted to reach 3.6 million metric tons (MMT) during 2022-2023, an increase of almost 20% compared to the production in the prior season that was 3 MMT. These citrus fruits can be largely get affected due to mites, such as citrus rust mites. Thus, to prevent crop damage, the usage of miticides is expected to increase during the forecast period.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database, Egypt is the world's largest producer of dates, followed by Iran, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Mite infestation leads to the downgrading of date fruit. In many cases, the fruits may need to be rehydrated to reduce the extent of damage and economic losses. However, the rehydration process can increase the production cost. Thus, the demand for miticides is increasing in the Middle East & Africa.
