For a number of years, the biggest European markets for PPC are Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, UK and Russia.
Since the beginning of this decade, the consumption of plant protection chemicals in Poland fluctuated between 70-95 thousand tons per year. Despite the overall upwards trend in local PPC production, the Polish market is dominated by foreign suppliers with a very wide range of products.
Significantly more herbicides and fungicides are used in Poland compared to world consumption because of high percentage of grains in general cultivated area and considerable importance of gardening. In turn, insecticides are used in much smaller quantities.
