Global pesticide use on crops exhibits a broad range of applications across different countries. High usage is seen in Saint Lucia (20.11 kg/ha), Ecuador (16.73 kg/ha), and Taiwan (14.08 kg/ha), while countries like Sweden (0.53 kg/ha) and Finland (0.56 kg/ha) report significantly lower usage. Year-on-year variations from 2023 highlight both increases and decreases; notable changes include a dramatic 18.88% rise in New Caledonia and a sharp 11.09% decline in Japan. France shows moderate stability with a 0.75% increase.
Future trends to watch include:
