market share, Valent Biosciences LLC, 2022
Valent BioSciences specializes in environmentally friendly, biological solutions for modern farming. It helps in prevention of the harmful insects and nematodes.
- Biopesticides are naturally occurring substances or agents derived from animals, plants, insects, and microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, used to manage agricultural pests and infections. In 2022, Chinese biopesticides accounted for about 47.1% of the entire crop protection market value.
- In the Chinese biopesticides market, biofungicide was the most consumed biopesticide, dominating the market with a volume share of 55.0%, followed by bioinsecticides, other biopesticides, and bioherbicides, with market shares of 31.0%, 11.5%, 2.4%, respectively, in 2022.
- Row crop cultivation is dominant in the country, and its biopesticides consumption was valued at about USD 204.7 million in 2022. This is due to the large area under cultivation of field crops, which are considered the country's staple food.
- Microbial pesticides are pesticides that contain live organisms as active components, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, or microorganisms that have undergone genetic modification. Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis, Helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Paenibacillus polymyxa are the top five microbial pesticides in China in terms of manufacturing output.
- Botanical pesticides are pesticides with active components extracted directly from plants. The currently registered botanical pesticides include matrine, rotenone, azadirachtin, veratramine, and pyrethrin.
- Organic farming also expands in China as the demand for organic food rises. From 2017 to 2022, 29.6% of organic acreage increased. Increasing organic acreage and government initiatives are expected to increase the market value of biopesticides during the forecast period, with a projected CAGR of 9.1%.

China Biopesticides Market Trends
Country’s zero growth in pesticides use and increasing exports under organic products driving the organic cultivation.
- According to the latest reports by FiBL and the IFOAM, the market for organic food in China is growing at an annual rate of 25.0%. The shift from conventional to organic is a transformation toward a more sustainable food system within China, given the USD 2.91 billion of agri-food commodities exported from China each year.
- The size of organic farmland increased rapidly in China because more people started buying organic products due to increased incomes and the increasing importance of food safety. In the last three years, China's organic planting area increased by 10%, reaching 2.4 million ha in 2020. In addition, national policies have been adopted to promote organic production, advocating the slogans that state, ″lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets″ and ″green development".
- Organic farming in China is majorly export-oriented. The products that are both exported and imported include cereals, soybeans, fruits, and vegetables. China's three northeastern provinces (Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang) support the largest organic production nationally in terms of output, volume, and area. Most organic farms located in the northern part of China (e.g., Shandong and Liaoning) supply organic vegetables and fruits to nearby cities. In addition, they export some products to Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the United States.
- With the increasing concerns of soil toxicity due to the overuse of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that lead to soil contamination, the demand for sustainable agriculture practices and organic food production is on the rise in China. This moderately slow yet increasing shift in cultivation practices has also subsequently increased the demand for crop nutrition and protection products.

Approximately 73% of Chinese consumers willing to have organic food
- China's organic food market is developing rapidly, and the potential demand for organic food among Chinese consumers is enormous. This is due to the growth of the wealthier middle classes and a greater awareness of the health implications. In 2021, organic food sales in China amounted to about USD 77.54 billion.
- Due to various government laws that favor organic food over food safety and customer preferences for organic food over conventional food, the demand for organic food items has considerably expanded. While prices of organic vegetables in China range from 3 to 15 times the cost of conventional produce, prices for organic vegetables are generally between 5 and 10 times that of their conventional counterparts. However, despite the price factor being a barrier, wealthy families and individuals with health problems are eager to increase their budget, with approximately 73% of Chinese consumers willing to pay extra for organic foods.
- The Chinese government is slowly aiming to become self-reliant in the organic food sector. For instance, the economy is slowly moving toward a green agriculture practice by encouraging farmers to scale back the use of chemical fertilizers and switch to bio-based alternatives. The China Chain Store and Franchise Association (CCFA) research in 2020 declared that organic awareness among the Chinese population in developed cities was at 83% when it came to an understanding of the concept of sustainable food production.
- Although China's organic food sector is still quite small and falls far short of satisfying domestic and international consumer demand, it can be stated that organic food in China has enormous potential in both the domestic and foreign markets, considering the rise in domestic sales by 4.01% in 2021.

| Biocontrol agents | Biocontrol agents are living organisms used to control pests and diseases in agriculture. They are alternatives to chemical pesticides and are known for their lesser impact on the environment and human health. |
| Organic Fertilizers | Organic fertilizer is composed of animal or vegetable matter used alone or in combination with one or more non-synthetically derived elements or compounds used for soil fertility and plant growth. |
| Protein hydrolysates (PHs) | Protein hydrolysate-based biostimulants contain free amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides produced by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of proteins, primarily from vegetal or animal sources. |
| Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) | Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) are substances derived from natural resources to enhance plant growth and health by stimulating plant processes (metabolism). |
| Soil Amendments | Soil Amendments are substances applied to soil that improve soil health, such as soil fertility and soil structure. |
| Seaweed Extract | Seaweed extracts are rich in micro and macronutrients, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytohormones, and osmolytes. These substances boost seed germination and crop establishment, total plant growth and productivity. |
| Compounds related to biocontrol and/or promoting growth (CRBPG) | Compounds related to biocontrol or promoting growth (CRBPG) are the ability of a bacteria to produce compounds for phytopathogen biocontrol and plant growth promotion. |
| Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria | Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium obtain food and shelter from the host, and in return, they help by providing fixed nitrogen to the plants. |
| Nitrogen Fixation | Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process in soil which converts molecular nitrogen into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds. |
| ARS (Agricultural Research Service) | ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency. It aims to find solutions to agricultural problems faced by the farmers in the country. |
| Phytosanitary Regulations | Phytosanitary regulations imposed by the respective government bodies check or prohibit the importation and marketing of certain insects, plant species, or products of these plants to prevent the introduction or spread of new plant pests or pathogens. |
| Ectomycorrhizae (ECM) | Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic interaction of fungi with the feeder roots of higher plants in which both the plant and the fungi benefit through the association for survival. |
