印度目前是位于美国、日本以及中国之后的全球第四大农药生产国,由于印度仍十分倚重农业生产,农化行业对印度经济十分重要。印度不断增长的人口(已占世界人口的16%,而土地面积只占全球的2%)限制了人均耕地面积。改进农业生产、满足不断提高的粮食需求只能依靠正确高效地使用农化品来解决。尽管印度经济较重地依赖于季风气候,农化品的使用十分关键,但印度农化品的实际使用率仍然十分低。与医药领域相同,印度农化行业的发展在非专利产品制造方面较为活跃,而在具有专利的新分子研发领域则较为薄弱。相 India is currently the fourth largest producer of pesticides in the world after the United States, Japan and China. As India still relies heavily on agricultural production, the agrochemical sector is very important to India’s economy. India’s growing population, already accounting for 16% of the world’s population and only 2% of the world’s land, limits per capita arable land. Improving agricultural production and meeting rising food demands can only be solved by using agrochemicals correctly and efficiently. Although the Indian economy relies heavily on the monsoon climate and the use of agrochemicals is crucial, the actual utilization of agrochemicals in India is still very low. As in the field of medicine, the development of the agro-chemical industry in India is more active in the manufacture of generic products than in the area of ​​patent-pending new molecular research and development. phase
