3rd Annual Agrochemicals R&D & Innovations India Summit 2025

Research and development (R&D) is the innovation engine of the agrochemical industry and is crucial for driving growth. The industry is on the verge of constantly evolving technology to meet a wide range of demands, with R&D taking precedence. Over 3,000 crores of rupees have been spent on R&D by Indian corporations in the form of land, buildings, equipment, trials, and registration. This represents 5% of the agrochemical sector's overall revenue, which has significantly increased in recent years. The argument for the crop protection chemicals sector is becoming stronger with innovation driven by R&D exports. Agrochemical companies are increasingly focusing on introducing new formulations in their R&D capabilities and product mix to gain an edge.

India has risen to become the second-largest exporter of agrochemicals globally in 2022, with exports valued at $5.5 billion. By 2025, India's agrochemical market is expected to grow to $18.1 billion USD.

The 3rd Annual Agrochemicals R&D & Innovations India Summit 2025 is a premier event bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to shape the future of agrochemicals in India. This summit serves as a platform to explore groundbreaking advancements, discuss policy reforms, and address the challenges facing the agrochemical sector. With a special focus on innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation, the event will provide actionable insights to accelerate growth under the Make in India initiative.
