India Becomes World's Third Largest Agrochemical Exporter

India has become the third biggest seller of special chemicals for farming, called agrochemicals, around the world.

In the financial year 2025, India sold $3.3 billion worth of these chemicals to other countries.

This is a big jump from about $1.3 billion in sales in 2014-2015, showing a large increase in 11 years.

The main products sold include things that kill bugs, weeds, and diseases that hurt plants.

The report was published by Deloitte and Agro-Chemicals Federation of India (ACFI).

These chemicals are often sold in states like Maharahstra and Goa.

The ACFI also wants the government to help the industry with tax breaks.
