Government Support and Subsidies Driving India’s Biopesticides Market
The Indian government is actively promoting sustainable agriculture by encouraging the use of biopesticides over synthetic alternatives. The latest policy initiatives are further strengthening India's shift towards chemical-free farming, thereby propelling the India biopesticides market growth. For instance, In November 2024, the Union Cabinet approved the National Mission on Natural Farming with a budget of Rs. 2481 crore (Central: Rs. 1584 crore; State: Rs. 897 crore) to promote chemical-free farming across 15,000 clusters, reaching 1 crore farmers and covering 7.5 lakh hectares, while establishing 10,000 Bio-input Resource Centres. Several initiatives, including subsidies under the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA), Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), and the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP), are helping farmers adopt eco-friendly pest control solutions. Additionally, the Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme and state-level incentives are making biopesticides more accessible and affordable. Stricter regulations on synthetic pesticide residues in food exports are also accelerating the adoption of biological alternatives, particularly in organic farming. With increasing awareness and policy-driven adoption, India biopesticides market share is expanding as more farmers integrate biocontrol agents into crop protection strategies.
Expansion of Biofungicides and Bioherbicides
The demand for biofungicides and bioherbicides is increasing as farmers seek natural alternatives for disease and weed control in major crops. With growing concerns over chemical residues, soil degradation, and regulatory restrictions on synthetic pesticides, bio-based solutions are becoming more popular. Microbial biofungicides, derived from bacteria and fungi, are proving effective against crop diseases like powdery mildew, rust, and blight. For instance, in August 2023, FMC India launched ENTAZIA™ biofungicide, a new crop protection solution based on Bacillus subtilis, aimed at combating bacterial leaf blight in rice. This innovative product enhances plant resilience and supports sustainable agriculture while being safe for natural predators. FMC's latest offering underscores its commitment to advancing biological solutions in India's agricultural sector, promoting both productivity and environmental balance. Similarly, bioherbicides formulated from plant extracts and beneficial microbes offer sustainable weed management, reducing dependency on chemical herbicides. Government support for integrated pest management (IPM) and rising organic farming adoption further drive this segment’s growth. Farmers are increasingly opting for biofungicides and bioherbicides to enhance crop yields, soil health, and environmental sustainability. As innovations continue, these natural solutions are creating a positive India biopesticide market outlook.
