The 5th BioAgTech Congress in Raleigh, North Carolina offered once again an opportunity for those in the biologicals sector to be at the cutting edge of insight, discussion and networking. Kynetec was platinum sponsor of the event.
Kynetec is a global leader in agriculture data and analytics. BioLogika, their unique dashboard, deep dives into biopesticides insights with data drawn from their network of over 200,000 growers worldwide.
André Dias, Executive Director LATAM at Kynetec, leads a team of 100 research professionals in Latin America, and his wide ranging and diverse experience in the agricultural sector made him a great choice to be one of the 30+ BioAg Expert speakers at the event.
André’s presentation took a deep dive into what is driving the growth of biologicals in Brazil, and highlights of the biologicals market for the latest soybean season.
Highlights included:
- Biocontrol market value grows at a CAGR of 37% between 2018/9 and 2022/3
- Potential Area Treated (PAT) grows at a CAGR of 32% between 2018/9 and 2022/3
Cultivated area increases
Technology level increases for nematicides, fungicides and sucking insects
- Of the main biological organisms, André highlighted that:
Trichoderma is used on 18% of PAT
Beauveria b. on 14% of PAT
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on 9% of PAT
- Across Brazil, 35% of growers have adopted biologicals, with higher levels of adoption in the Central West States
89% of the PAT for nematode control in soybean is treated with biologicals (2022/3)
- Biologicals growth outpaces the chemical market by two-fold each year
- Growers are choosing biologicals for cost efficiency, with value capture prioritised over cost reduction
- The regulatory environment facilitates innovation, with Biologicals registrations taking around 25% of the time of conventional molecules
